Yes - the coop foundation is cinder blocks with the 4X4's on them. We nailed those 16 inches on center to the large board you can see at the front of them. Then we laid and hammered the flooring to that base. We had two sheds built here and used those as the model for building the coop. Trust me - if WE can do it, YOU can do it! We've never built a thing in our lives! <br/><br/>Take care,<br/>Penny Hi Suzanne! Yes - the coop foundation is cinder blocks with the 4X4’s on them.

Nice coop!!
I got my first chickens last fall and they have just started laying. I have some roos too.
Our first coop was a “chick’n'barn” that we *bought* .. we weren’t handy enough to build our own. But we are getting better, and contemplating all sorts of structures with various levels of grandiosity. :)
A that gives rise to a question I have for you about your Coupe Deville: is the floor structure of your coop still just resting on top of those 4×4s?
Good luck with your birds!!
