Great article.

Fantastic coop and an entertaining read. Thanks for sharing.

I love the prose for this article!

Beautiful build! Very thorough pictures and plans! Very entertaining story

Brilliant article and video - wish you'd done it two years earlier as it would have helped me

Can't believe you did it in 7 weeks - mine took me close to a year (though there was a bit of procrastination going on!)

An excellent story, well told, and great pictures too. I hope there's a sequel.

So funny
Brilliantly told... Definitely more please

Beautiful coop!

And I love how with every new passage of your hilarious coop-building story, the number of the future inhabitants grew.

Can't wait for the sequel, you are a true story teller! Thank you for sharing!

What a beautiful expose′ on the adventure of building a hospitable coup. I was thoroughly engrossed in your story the entire time (I couldn't stop reading it).

Thank you so much for this delightful yarn about you and your spouse's adventure in chicken coup building.

this is a very pretty coop nice and stylish

What an enjoyable story, thank you! Your coop and run look like mine, just a little bigger. My husband too, researched Carolina Coops quite a bit before we started to build. Your girls are very lucky indeed!

Your writing style is wonderful and hilarious! A very enjoyable read with some really great material ideas especially. Kudos!

I need this coop! It's gorgeous!

Excellent coop & run and the article was entertaining to read.

Oh boy. Great looking coop so well worth the effort! Our story is so much like yours- tried with the biggest pre-fab that could be posted, marvelled that anyone thought one chicken- let alone 8 stated on the box - would ever want to live in there - so built our own. The local hardware man believed for a long while we were extending our house but nope, just chicken house. Built the largest allowed without planning permission. Since you have an orchard, I suggest you look into ducks too. Their poo on the sugar cane mulch (which we have to use too since hemp doesn’t seem to exist in Aus) seems to go well on the trees without crazy long compost time. It’s a pleasure to scoop out their house for our nut tree orchard. And if you get drakes the pre-fab prison makes a very handy drake gaol!! Your coop looks amazing and you must be so proud that you actually just stuck in and did it.

This is a fantastic write-up. I am impressed with how well the boy and girl did at constructing a coop from scratch.
