This is an excellent pictorial. If it continues through to the finished coop, this will be a top-notch guide.

Very nice! How did you handle predator-proofing?

Awwww, c'mon - pics of wet chickens being chased in the rain. Sounds like a "must-add" to me!

Nicely done - short, sweet and to the point. The best part is that you don't have to go out and buy anything, as most of the ingredients are already in the house!

This is wonderful - well planned and well documented. While the coop and run rely heavily on welding, much of this project would adapt easily to other materials suitable for other regions. All in all, a VERY nice job on both the coop and article!

Thank you for writing this. The critically endangered breeds need more advocates like you, so we can save them. The La Fleche is a particularly handsome bird that makes a great backyard chicken. They are respectable layers and better-than-average for the table. Articles like this one remind people that they can have their meat and eggs ... and gorgeous eye candy, to boot.
Like the Livestock Conservancy advocates ... Eat 'em to save 'em!

What a great idea ... and an equally great how-to article. Very well done, all the way around!

Cabbage is a great distractor - but make sure you stick around to watch for awhile or you'll miss a really fun time!
In the meantime, you may want to check your spelling. I think you meant "wrapping?"

This is a great idea for re-purposing an existing playhouse. Lots of people have them standing around their back yards but don't know how to go about converting them. If you could include some details (and possibly pictures) of how you adapted and predator-proofed a playhouse to go from being safe for kids to being safe for chickens, it would be very helpful.
My own coop is a converted playhouse - you've inspired me into cleaning it up and posting it, too. It's still a playhouse ... mine!

This coop has a "different" look to it than most - and I like it! I would like to see a bit more on how you predator-proofed it.

This is a very attractive coop, but there isn't much information on it, yet. Once you include your build pictures and some commentary, this will be a nice article. I look forward to seeing your expanded notes. Very pretty!

Please post an update or two - even if it's just a simple "before" picture to start the article. The short info is a great attention grabber ... We wanna see more!

This coop is wonderful! I love the litter-box style nest boxes - very convenient and easy to clean. Some how-to tips and maybe a sketch or two that would help someone recreate this really nice set-up would go a long way!

PLEASE! Get some pictures of Sally and her adopted family. This is wonderful!

Clear instructions, good pictures and a supply list ... what more can you ask! Nice job!

Very thorough & nice pictures. I learned something new ... about not being allowed to feed meat scraps to UK chickens. I'll bet the dogs are happy!

This is a really nice coop - basic but with a touch of American Craftsman style that really steps it up. There is not much in the way of how-to, but the pictures more than make up for it. The link to pre-build plan critique is a nice bonus. Well done!

Great pics & a great reuse of found and leftover materials. You may want to put in some wider roosts (at least sideways 2X4s) but otherwise it's a great little set-up. Your budget-friendly coop is liable to get some people thinking about doing the same, so adding some how-to pointers would be a big help to someone wanting to attempt scrapping together something similar on their own. Very cool!
