All your chicken coops make me feel like mine are living in a chicken third world country

LOL! OMG- this made my day! Thanks for the laugh! Mines not too far up the social ladder either- have all 11 living in a concrete shed that's been split in half to accomodate them. Thanks all for the pics- this thread is inspiring me as I'm trying to thinking about their future permanent home on a small slope and looking to build a coop at the bottom and the top can house garden tools.

Started with chickens in april. Hubby built run, I built nest boxes/roost box. All was great for warm weather- then came winter!!!! We got a foot of snow on halloween to show me how I didn't plan for winter. Did some quick wind blocking. At least now I know exactly how I need to change things and make it better once it warms up. 1st time teaches u everything and my chickens seem to be content. Next winter will be easier for them!

Here's some photos of my coop and run, I didn't have any plans but just built it from photos on found on the internet. I also built it on my own, so it took me a few months to complete.
I'm happy to say my chickens have been home for a month now and seem to be enjoying their coop and run.
I'm enjoying giving them different veggies and turning the dirt in some of the grazing beds for the worms.

Like your pen. How long and wide is the covered run? Have plans to build something very close to what you have built.

Here is our coop , it is about two years old . Added the picket fence and cupalo . Used a dog kennel for the run , covered the run with netting and were good to go . Pretty simple set-up but works well .

your chickens must feel special...OMG this is so beautiful
