We’ve fallen behind in chicken sedan updates.  Skip installed the door a week or two ago, and then Robin painted the interior with VOC-free paint.  We felt indecisive with regard to the floor for a long time (this is why simple coops don’t have floors), but finally decided to just caulk it thoroughly and apply 3 coats of primer to seal it from moisture.

Robin painted the door, and I installed a wood frame into the window.  Today we stapled a screen of hardware cloth onto the frame, boarded up the chicken door (for now), and installed a door stop at the top of the people door (to prevent over-extending the hinges).  It is now raccoon proof (we hope) and ready for customers.  We’ll finish the remaining detail work as we have time for it.
