The "Mod" Coop

Hi fellow Metro Portlander. What a Great Build!! Excellent use of space and efficiency. Your narrative and photos were extremally helpful.

I love this coop! Very attractive, neat and tidy. Plan's are easy to follow, lots of photos and descriptions. Great job!

WOW!!! If I was a chicken I would want to live here! absolutely gorgeous and extremely well thought out!

This is a great coop! I love the style and colors and it fits well in the space. Great article, good details and I can relate to the humor. Awesome job!

Very Nice!

I love some of the ideas incorporated into this coop. The directions are wonderful and the trip through the making of it was fascinating! I want my husband to make me a few of these.

Wow, great coop! I love how you thought of some many practical issues. Ans it looks great too! Thanks for taking the time share your story so detailed, loved reading it. Wish you many happy chickens

I have a similar narrow situation; my first flock was on the other side of the house and I’m going to move or build the structure on the more narrow side now.
Love your coop! Thank you for sharing your great plans...very clear! I am encouraged to try to build now thanks to you #coopgoals

i feel like i cant give high enough praise for this coop. it is a work of art the plans are so well done the whole thing down to the very last board.... amazing...

Speechless! ?

Wow, you did such an amazing job on your coop/run and article! What a great testament to your well thought out descriptions and pictures that someone could go ahead and build their own with your plan. Fantastic work!

What a great design! I adapted my version to make the coop itself 8 feet wide by 4 feet deep, and made the bottom of the coop a bit taller (heeding your advice about wanting more space under the coop). I also added a second egg door to allow for 4 nest boxes. Other than those modifications (and a paint job to match our brick house), I followed your plans which were excellent! My biggest challenge was dealing with warped 2x2's, which made it tough to get everything exactly square. But I pushed ahead and "forced" it all together. I also dug 12 inches down below the coop/runs and put down vinyl coated hardware cloth as an underground fence - we have lots of foxes and raccoons roaming around. The whole project took about 2 1/2 months total. Awesome design and instructions - thank you!!! Our six chicks LOVE their new home!

I love it! The colors, the roof and all the little details. You did so much with a small space. Very creative. I really like the roof. Good job on everything!

Thanks for sharing all the fantastic info and your coop looks great!

Your coop looks awesome, and your chicken babies seem to know they have a great thing! <3

I feel like somebody could build this coop thanks to your detailed instructions! One of the best articles I've seen.

Beautiful coop, very helpful pictures and great supply list for new chicken owners who want to build their own coop.

I am always impressed with people who put so much thought and planning into their coop/run builds! You have an awesome coop/setup for your time and planning! Really nice you included the detailed plan and the supply list too. Great job!
