Malibu Coop

Fort Malibu

 

This is a custom coop we built for a chicken loving family in Malibu.  The coop and run are extremely secure from all types of predators, egg collection is from the outside and the coop has storage for all of the feed and supplies needed for the coop.

 

Sketchup of the coop

Quick Sketch Up of what the coop is going to look like.

 

Front Side

 

We buried 1/2 welded wire a foot deep sweeping away from the coop to discourage any digging predators.  All of the posts were set in concrete and we used 1 x 6 fascia board around the perimeter of the coop to keep the wire and run sturdy.

 

Side

 

The Egg collection door on the back gives access to 6 nesting boxes and their is a storage area under the nesting boxes that can be accessed from both the outside and inside of the coop.

 

Back Side

That is one beautiful looking coop! I wish I had that in my backyard!
That is so very nice!
looks very well built and super secure. Is that composite wood on the inside? I'm impressed if it is. I only see one vent. Will that be enough?
This coop is so beautiful, where can i get the plans, I just love GREAT JOB
Thanks for all of the comments! The siding is hardie board. The entire soffit area under the roof is open with wire so there is tons of airflow. AS far as the plans go, we built to a design and didn't have any formal plans drafted.
That is so cool! Plus it has the same name as me :DD
Beautiful, neat, big... lovely coop & run!
