I'm a 58 year old woman with NO carpentry experience at all and I built this coop from start to finish by myself - what an incredible learning experience! I used The Garden Coop plans which were wonderfully detailed and I just took it 1 step at a time, gradually getting more and more confident in my skills - I even got brave enough to change things up and add some of my own touches to the basic plan based on all the ideas I got from BYC! The chicks are 2 weeks old and will move out in another week or 2.


























In the meantime, I built this little portable run so they could play outside on these beautiful days!
