My "baby" is a 6'2" college soon-to-be junior. When a winter storm downed his tree-house we decided to get chickens. 100 feet of 1/2" hardware cloth, repurposed shed doors, some recycled windows ($10 each), $10 vinyl flooring and we are ready for the girls to arrive on Friday. We built a platform (also out of repurposed lumber) to keep them secure while we are at work all day. Planning on letting them free-range when we are home.

a side view of the coop and run-love the window boxes!

A rooster to watch over the girls! Double doors to make run clean out easier. Need to install outdoor roost and sandbox.

backside view-top has 1/2 metal roof and 1/2 hardware cloth-tall enough to walk in

nesting boxes

inside-vinyl floor and roost in front of "picture" window (windows are both screened with 1/2" hardware cloth)

creativity!
