All of these look great and are awesome inspiration for when DH and I start building our coop. Thanks for sharing pictures!

Mommy to two girls, 1 and 3. A surprise [I mean that in more than one way] baby due in September. 3 cats. 1 turtle. 6 hens..RIR, BR, Leghorn, NHR, Jersey Giant and an Americauna. A country girl stuck in the burbs [for now!]

Here's ours in progress - we used to have a 'green roof' but the chickens tore it up so my husband was in progress with putting on cedar shake. The run underneath doesn't get used much - they free range in the back yard all day then hop up in the coop at night.

Inside we keep pine shavings, the food & water and the nest boxes.

It started life as an 8' x 20' dog run, concrete floor and six foot chain link fence. I built a 4' x 6' coop inside from left over construction materials, mainly SIPS panels. Those are 8" thick sandwiches of OSB (particle board) with foam inside, so they have high insulation value. I put in windows, hardware cloth screens, and a 4 foot high door.
The roof has clear corrugated fiberglass panels with fencing over them for security. We wrapped 2' x 8' corrugated galvanized sheet around the base to keep the bad guys out. I think I've spent about $250 on materials.

Four Columbian Wyandotte hens, and a charming young roo who's growing fast.

Perfect use of an awkward yard area.
