Coop At Witt's End So, I decided that I wanted chickens. We looked in catalogues, farm shows and farm stores. None of the prebuilt coops met my wonderful husbands expectations for my future chickens. He decided to build one for me. He drew up a rough draft and the building began. It was...

Woodcliff Solar Chicken House We had been thinking about getting chickens for a quite a while (to eat the hords of grasshoppers, make better compost, and EGGS), so decided to order chickens from a nearby state chicken hatchery. We received 13 Silver Laced Wyandotte's in early June and as each...

Construction I started this building process in mid September 2010. I vowed not to order chicks until the coop was completed. I really did not want to have the chicks in the house and I know my wife would not appreciate it. The process took a lot longer than I anticipated and guess what? I...
