Good job of using an old playhouse and that run is pretty spectacular!

Great job of combining a dog house with a coop. This is really a nicely built shed and it has everything a hen could want. Be nice to see pics of the building process of the shed itself.

I never thought I'd see enough pictures but here they are! Good visuals to show the construction phase and the thought behind your decisions. Awesome pics of the girls in the flower beds!

Good pics showing how you built this. I like the aluminum door and its rails. Hope you have a run now.

Easy to understand explanation of turning a playhouse into a nice coop and using a trampoline for a run. Loads of pictures and even measurements!

This is a good tutorial on how to make a temp shelter or a brooder for chicks.

Nice work in creating the run and making the shed into a coop. Not sure if I like the roost window being outside of the run; just worried about a predator coming at night right where they are sleeping. Agree about maybe needing more ventilation and my hens would fly or jump right over that fence, but your look happy, so Good job!

What a great story. Grandma would have loved the coop, I know. Good job of building this coop and run and of making it so attractive. It's easy to see how your husband went about things from the pics.

Wow, so nice to see a plan and costs for the plan. I actually made the same but couldn't figure out how to get the info online. Could just take a pic like you did. :th

Do you get many critters from the water behind you?

Nice set up. Can't really see how the new addition is laid out but I know your hens are safe and they have plenty of options during the day.

You did a great job with building this and showing how to do it. Your hens have plenty of room and it looks nice too. Did you ever fill in the space where the roof rafters extend out? I'm not sure if my hens would be safe with that open; we have opossums, raccoons, stray cats, etc..

I like your roof and where in the world did you get that plywood so cheap? I also am totally stealing your idea to lock the door with two screw in eye bolts. God job in building a solid and comfy place for your chickens,

This thing is built to last. I'm envious.

Great job with the construction and attention to details. I know your hens are happy.

No written explanation but this is one well designed and well built coop and run. Great job!

Awesome coop and run but no pics of process and how to. Good looking build, though.

The pictures are in reverse order but they are good ones. You can see how the coop went up and understand the details. The tarp roof may not work in some locations but this is a good example of a simple but roomy run/coop. There really isn't an indication of a hen house, exactly?

This is a nicely sized coop built with readily available materials and it's easy to see the process and follow along.
NOTE: You must click on the link to get to the details.

I'm not sure which one is written about. They both look nice but seem to be for different uses? Be nice to have some 'as we went along' pics and to be able to see inside.

Nice layout inside; I like the bucket hanger. Good pics of outside finished but not so much of process?

Really like the looks of this cool coop. Wish we could see pics inside and understand what your issues were. So we don't have to learn the hard way. LOL
