This is a superb coop for a few chickens. Any more and there would need to be a bigger run but this is one of the cleanest designs I have seen. Good job! Wish we had dimensions or plans or how to pictures in addition to the ones that are here.

What a pretty coop! I love the colors. What are the dimensions, and how many birds does it house?

WOW AWESOME!! What are the measurements inside? Like each roost bar how long are they? How big of a footprint is the whole thing? How big is the inside area? Thanks!! I love your coop, even the colors are just super, great design, NICE WORK indeed!!!

Two questions: How many chickens (LF/bantams), and, did you bury hardware cloth to prevent burrowing predators?
Actually, there's a third question....did you clean up for pics, or take pics before move-in day? In any case, very nice job. I particularly like the pop-door mechanism. Well done!

Very very cool setup!! I might just borrow this idea for the bantam garden house I'm trying to plan out! Thank you for sharing! ^^

Very Nice, but you have to get on your hands and knees to clean up the pooooo. Something I would not like to do in the winter. But the coop itself is Very nice. Very good construction and the inside is very nice. So I'll quit cuz there's enough very's in this.

That is not an "Average Gringo's Coop". That is an exceptionally well thought out coop. Very good job. I am envious.

NYONE. I have a question: If there is a locked caged run, why is there a need for a pop door? Seems like more of a hassle to have to let them out each morning and close them in at night. Thanks.
