Have you ever considered making a water wheel driven power station ? With the stream on your property there is endless free power,just a thought.

Good job on the chicken coop. I like the lights!! Let’s hope the predators don’t think it is a candlelight dinner

I hope that you plan on going a few inches underground with either wood or mesh so that no predator can dig its way into the coop. It happened to us once with a marten that hurt one of our hens so badly that we had to put her out of her misery and it was heartbreaking. We were trying to give our hens the best life possible, they ate like queens, even after they stopped laying eggs. After this incident, we left a couple of box traps in the chicken coop and managed to catch the marten after a few days. We released it in the forest and never had marten problems again after that. When one of our hens died (which happened a couple of times over the better part of a decade), we would replace her so that the remaining hen(s) always had at least one companion. We were a bit too soft to have hens, so we decided to give up after the third death and the remaining hen went to live with many other hens and a rooster at a friend's coop. It was really nice to get fresh eggs every morning. They dined on food scraps, insects they'd catch in their big yard, worms from the garden and an unlimited supply of grain which they didn't have to touch much since they were happier with the other food. Opening the coop's door at first light, cleaning inside of the coop as they ate, fetching the eggs around 11 AM, closing it in the evening after they would call it a day and then cleaning outside of the coop could be a bit of a chore some days, but those hens were really cool and it was nice to see how they trusted us. Watch out for mites, these buggers were quite difficult to get rid of when they infested the coop once.

To make the chicken coop easier to move,
Move the wheels from the back of the coop toward the front of the coop like through the front legs of the hen house instead of the back legs.
That way the whole coup uses the wheels as a fulcrum kinda like a rickshaw.
Makes it much more maneoverable too.

Why don't you extend the roof a little to cover the nest boxes? This would save all the caulking? Looks good though
