What a beautiful coop! I kind of have a similar set up where I have my coop and totally enclosed run, then a much larger area done with chicken wire for my girls to roam! One question (I've never been a great reader) - Is there a base to your run, or is the hardware cloth apron the main thing to keep digging predators out? My apologies if I missed it in your fantastic write up

I loved this article

I am looking forward to making my own coop and run (will definitely make an article about it)
We are moving at the moment with 10 ducks (8 calls, 1 silver appleyard and 1 runner) and we can't take their coop so at first they will be living in a crate in a barn :lau

Very impressive! I am currently undertaking a similar project of turning an old unused shed into a coop. Im sure moving all that stuff out and finding new spots for it was a pain. I know it was tough on me and I only had 1/10 of the stuff that was in yours. You have beautiful happy healthy-looking birds! Im sure they love this Chicken Palace. Definitely provides me some motivation

I was totally engrossed with the flock tales!!! I laughed at Fabio's adventures and am currently observing my coop with a bit of a harsh eye

Very cool coop!

What a good article detailing every part of the coop build, as well as some humor added in there for fun. All in all a great read.

Awesome! Mine is similar but built completely from the ground up, Wish Id of seen this before my build, I would have done a few things your way. May still change a few things with mine next spring when its nice enough to work outside again.

If I had to pick one coop and run to copy from what I've seen on BYC, it would be this one.

Excellent article with helpful description and pictures.

This article is very detailed, yet fun to read. The coop is great.

Excellent build & article covering it! Great attention to detail. Plus I laughed out loud when the inspector flogged you

. I love your coop & run, I'm sure your chickens do too.

This was such an amazing read, particularly for a newbie looking for ideas about how to add that extra oomph to a new coop! Love the framing and site prep details.

Loved every step. Good work! You should report the OSHA guy.

Wow! This is just awesome! I read through the whole thing, and like... this is the dream coop of any person! Nice construction skills, doors, cameras, EVERYTHING!!!

Gott share this to people building their own coops!

ingenious build and design
article gives a great blow-by-blow explanation of how it was created.

This article is very in-depth about the construction of the coop, which is helpful for people who are hoping to build their own. This is by far my favorite coop in terms of beauty and functionality. Well done.

Wonderful well written well thought out article of a practical and good looking coop. I have converted half of an existing building to end up with a coop of the same dimensions as yours and have referenced your article multiple times for ideas and practical considerations. Thank you for a awesome coop build article!

What a beautiful coop. Nicely done.
Thanks for sharing all the pictures

Thank you so much! Inspirational

so happy for your chickens.

Wow! What a well written, and highly thought-out article and coop! I loved reading this and seeing you and your husband's unique style in the end product! You definitely should have some happy chickens! :clap

Love it!

I love how detailed this article is. A lot of thought obviously went into your plans. You turned a rotten, rundown shack into a beautiful coop and run. Bravo!
