I'll show you mine if you show me yours - Coops that is! :)

So here are my coops!The first one is our second coop...we never planned on building another until we got a rooster back that we gave away and needless to say..being re-introduced didn't go too well. (He's pictured above too, he's a handsome guy but he is a JERK! Hence why he came back to us) We moved him and 2 ladies in there for company...I don't think he even deserves that.

The nesting boxes are in the second coop, our orignal one. I love that thing. We built it while our chickens were still living in my house as little ones. Equipped with electricity for lighting, and heat lamps. We have 8 nesting boxes (Although they only use about 2) and a nice ladder style roost. We even were able to use a super cute old barn door that we found around the farm. Vinyl siding and tin roof - fits right into our property There are 12 chickens in there.

Both coops have netting across the top for predators. We have had them almost 2 years and no losses thank God!

Now lets see yours!

I love your coops!

I made the cooped based off the Purina Coop plans. Then added a run (finished the run yesterday).

Just built this gem! Cant wait to stick my new gals in it

I wanted to build nesting boxes on the outside, but that was nixed, so we now have a door so we can get to the eggs easier!
We are adding two other runs on different sides for more room to play

Our three bantam chicks are only two weeks old, so they won't be moving in for a few weeks yet. My husband just set it up yesterday! It's a pre-fab. We still need to decide on bedding and all of that. This was taken right after he finished it yesterday.

Here is my 4x6 coop.

 

[Relocatedyank]

My husband calls it "Cluckingham Palace" and there's way more money in than I wanted (we don't discuss it anymore) and it's probably built better than our house (again, we don't discuss it anymore)... but here it is...

What I don't know is how many chickens I could hold in it. I'm thinking 12? But I don't know. Right now, I have 6 and they seem to like it....

I did all the research, told him, and he built what he wanted... but it was a combination of several things I saw in all my research. (Can you tell I'm the planner?... and like I said, we don't discuss it anymore...)

But we do love our chickens. (He didn't want them to start with but he wants more now!!!)
