Loveley - pop hole looks tiny even for banties and of course leaves no room for future dwellers who may be larger!
very well made though - a nice cozy home! -
You made that in 1 day? Wow!!! I'm dead impressed
The workmanship looks great. I agree with BP though that the pop hole does look a little bit narrow (not sure if my plumping-up ex-batts would fit through!) Great as a growing-on coop but you wouldn't need nest boxes then would you? Good job 
My girls found their way into my heart and now they nest thereComment

Really beautifully made.
Comments as above plus I personally don't like felt on the roof - it is felt isn't it?
I'd buy one off you !Comment

Nice henhouse Kev, did you use ply for the roof and then cover it or did you use cladding for this?

Nice!
If you want constuctive critcism I'd be picky and say the pop hole is a little on the small side but it looks brill! Better than mine does
How would you go about making a house for 8 mixed hens - banty to large fowl (my tallest bird stands about knee high to me and is fairly beefy) Not that I'm in the market - just interested in how you would go about it.
Well done - it looks very professional.The weeks and the years are fine. It's the days I can't cope with!

The pop hole is the customers request(8 x 10 inch)you tell me the size and i will make it if poss.,yes it is ply with felt.Comment

I made the pophole in my coop to suit the average size of the hens. What I didn't plan, or allow for, was whopping great cockerels!
I was watching the poor beggers this evening and they had to get on there knees and breath in just to get in the coop!
Time to get the saw out this Sunday methinks!
Oop's forgot to mention.....nice job Kev,my cockerels wouldn't even get there head in that pophole though!Last edited by Snadger; 04-09-2009, 10:40 PM.My Majesty made for him a garden anew in order

8 x 10 inch is never gonna be big enough for a silkie!Comment

It looks beautiful. I'd buy one too! The pop-hole, as has been said looks tiny, but I'm almost certain that our pop-holes are 9 by 10 which is not much bigger and they're fine, even Coco, the world's biggest Copper Marans can fit through them.....just.Into each life some rain must fall........but this is getting ridiculous.

It looks gorgeous!! Well done you.
The big question before answering your 'who wants one' is how much?
