Or could I do my post on this thread?Get those cameras out and scan those plans you wrote on the back of your chick starter receipt. Throw them together with a great write up and you could be a winner! (Okay... everyone on BYC is a winner... You'd just be a coop-article contest winner!)

Contest Details:
This is a contest to see who can create the best coop/run article for BYC. We define the "best article" to mean pages with the most information, pictures, plans, details, etc. that will be very helpful to others who want to build a coop and/or run. We don't care if your coop was made out of recycled pallets and was made in 2 days, or if it was made out of the highest-grade materials, took 5 months, and is a scale model of the Taj Mahal. We want helpful and informative coop articles!
TO ENTER THE CONTEST:
- Navigate to the "Chicken Coops" section of the site.
- Click on the
button
- Create a very helpful article with lots of pictures and information.
- Reply to this thread with a link to the coop article that you created.
- Only pages created here on BYC will be accepted. No threads or personal/off-site blog posts, etc.
- Have Fun!
Things to include in your article:
To increase your chances of winning the contest, make sure your article has as many of the elements above, in as much detail as possible! Here are some additional hints to help you win the contest:
