This was my first coop about 3 years ago. It had already been changed by making the
nest boxes external. This made more room inside for more chickens! About 4'x4'
This was the next addition, a covered feed area.
Next we made this tractor for sick chickens, brodies and raising chicks.
Then I got some free brick so put down under feeding area and added a 5 gal. bucket
and 5 water nipples.
This year I wanted more chickens & some ducks; ) Added the open air coop and this will
be wrapped in heavy gage plastic for the winter. Changed the narrow ramp to stairs and
the ducks don't have any problem with them! In this picture you can also see we extended
the top of the feeding area when we added the bricks and nipple waterer.
This is the whole set up with the 7 new EE chicks in the tractor.
This is the duck nest box I made out of a recycled toy box and 3 new nest boxes for the
chickens.
The ducks didn't like the stairs inside, maybe to narrow, so I built this ramp out of a recycled
pallet lid. They love it now!
Ok, this was my last project! lol I call it the Ducky Deck! 4 recycled pallets and I used the
lid wood to fill in the gaps. I did add an umbrella so the water will stay cooler on hot days!
