The Taj-Ma-Coop The plans started out as a 10x12 shed with a conventional roof. Then I found a link to a 10x12 chicken coop (https://ag.tennessee.edu/BESS/Extension/ExtPubs/Plans/6248.pdf ), but I didn't like the height, the roofline, and the side walls. The Rough Design - I decided to mix it up...

These are pictures of my chicken coop in Spokane. I had never built anything like this before...so I think I did pretty good! I did all the work myself too! This is the before photo. It was an old shelter/feed stall for a horse. I ripped out all the "insides" so I could start with a hollow...

Chickendales Here is Chickendales. It is home to our 3 barred rocks (Cinderella, Jasmine, Tweety), 2 Golden Comets (Peep and Omelet), and our RIR (Minnie). They only get to free range when I am out there with them. Even though we have a 6' fence around our backyard to keep out some predators...

THE NEW COOP We started with 6 chickens and a 4x4 homemade coop, with a 6x8 run. Well we bought a few juvies and raised a few chickies and now we are busting out at the seams. We looked around to see what our options were; buy a prebuilt shed, build our own, heck we even looked at the arrow...

Our Chicken Palace After losing far too many chickens to coyotes (and quite possibly hawks), I opted to add an attached run to our existing coop thus forcing our chickens to live in a 6 x 10 coop with a 10 x 10 run attached. While I didn't lose any of my girls, they were clearly not happy with...
