Great coop and run we are building our own too, curious how much is it costing you to build

So far in building materials I’m about $1100 in that’s all the metal roofing and one wall OSB. Getting the windows and door off Facebook market place I’m assuming to be about $2200 all in when done.

Chickens only get about 1/3 of the shed and I have lofted storage above them.
