I Keep noticing a lot of comments saying  MY DH is building a coop or we are working on a coop or a second and or third Coop .. I Thought some of you might like to share .. Perhaps not as detailed with supplies and such .. But words or Pictures. Of Our New upcoming Coops. I Love hearing how People are converting Old building or Even Large Dog houses etc..

  I think This keeps Popping out to my Attention as My husband is Building me a Coop now .. What a way for him to spend his Vacation .. But Of Course Because it is Happening now For me I enjoy seeing what others are doing .

 

   Does any one Care To Share ?

My DH is building A-Frame chicken tractors.  He has built four so far and needs to build about 4 more.  Then we are also going to add another big coop.  Thinking we will just get a metal shed from Home Depot and modify it a bit.  I am little concerned about heat in the summer, but that's the plan.

my hubby ordered a new coop and is going to build a run for it. 

It should be delivered in 2 - 3 days!    :)         This is our first time having chickens, so we're on coop #1

We are new to chickens, and our coop is new!!  We are almost done, and I will post pics when it is finished.  We decided to make it match our house.  I can't wait to get them out there this weekend.
