Coop with a mini pond
About four years ago some City friends asked us to take their chickens after the city code officer started giving them trouble. Soon we found ourselves with 19 chickens and two ducks. At first we put them in an old shed but after the bear tore apart our storage and ate two fifty pound bags of feed in one night, (how is that even possible?) we knew we needed a bear proof well ventilated shed that could accommodate our cold Pennsylvania winters and suffocating humid summers.
To keep the cost low we reused the corrugated metal roofing from the old coop and built on the old railroad tie foundation
