My husband and I built our coop (with some help from his father) this past August. This is the first time we've had chickens..
Foundation boards burried partly underground so animals can't dig into it:
Building day:
The nesting box:
Putting on the roof:
We put vinyl down inside the coop so it would be easier to clean, and a pipe for water along the back wall for the winter:
Outside of the nesting box, with lid:
Back of the coop, with the PVC feeder and another box that holds the water cooler:
The water cooler, with aquarium pump. We'll be putting a bird bath heater in for the winter:
Our dog saying hi to the girls (they were 4 weeks old);
Another shot of the feeder with the other pipe waterer under the coop:
Lattice panels with plastic for the winter:
