Ended Coop Page Contest #3 - Win a $20 BYC Store Gift Certificate!


I built this one out of an old router table my FIL wanted broken up and trown away. I will have to get a new pic it ow has a chicken nipple water system. It houses my silkies and they love it.
 
To those I've quoted, you may want to look at the first page and read through the instructions (quoted at the bottom of my reply). The coops will all need to be posted on a coop page to enter the contest. You can do so HERE. You'll need to post the link back in the thread after you have finished the article. :)

All are great coops!

My husband built this with NO plans and we spent NO money on it. He used all extra wood scraps and hardware :)



You'll be using the BYC Page & Article Creation Tool to design your pages and creating a page here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/2/Coop_Designs

Things to include in your page:
  1. Start with a finished coop picture at the top of your page
  2. Have a write-up of how you built your coop. Include any information you think would be helpful to other people who may want to build a similar coop.
  3. If you have them, include designs & plans you used to build your coop.
  4. Pictures of your coop as it was being constructed.
  5. Finished pictures of your coop.
  6. A list of things you want to change or add to your coop.
  7. Additional information about what you learned, what you'd do differently the next time, and any other tips for potential coop builders.

To increase your chances of winning the contest, make sure it has as many of the elements above in as much detail as possible! Here are some additional hints to help you win the contest:

1) Follow the format of some of the existing coop pages.
2) The more details and pictures the better!
3) Plans plans plans. Very few coop designs have plans available. If you post plans (rough or detailed) of your coop you'll get bonus points for sure!
4) Pictures - We all love lots of big beautiful and helpful pictures!
5) Remember, this is a contest for the most helpful coop build page and not the best looking coop.

We expect to add all of the pages submitted to the coop design page of BYC, but the best will win the contest.

TO ENTER THE CONTEST:
  1. Navigate to the "coop designs" section of the site.
  2. Scroll below the thumbnails of coops and to the middle left of the page you will see a button for "Add a Coop Design" Click that button and give the page a title.
  3. Create a very helpful page with lots of pictures and information.
  4. Reply to this thread with a link to your coop page you created.
  5. Have Fun!
 
We love our coop! We hope you do too!
