Chicken coop

My coop arrived in Topeka by freight line.  I received free shipping to Topeka so I drove over and picked it up.  It fit in my Subaru and I headed home and put it in my garage until we have some nicer weather to set it up.  I ordered it from mypetchicken.com.  It is the saltbox coop.  The website says it only takes 45 minutes to set it up with one person or 30 minutes with two people and the only tool you need is a screwdriver...we'll see.  Maybe Sue will come over and help me!  Hint hint. 
I have a box set up in my basement bathroom with an infrared heat lamp and the food and water containers.  The chicks will use this space until they are about 2 months old then the weather will be warmer and they can be transitioned outside.
