Wichita Cabin Coop

Your coop is adorable and the plans are so thorough! I love the winterizing ideas as well, and I appreciate seeing how it's held up for you over time. Nice work!
It looks like just the one we wanted.
A lovely and detailed article on a practical winter-friendly coop for those with small flocks!
This was inspiring! Thank you for all the insight into keeping chickens comfortable throughout the winter months. The removable piece in the nesting box was a really good touch. I will be keeping this post handy. Your chickens look very happy!
Want to build a coop in 2021... ❤ Love this coop design :D
Fantastic coop article
Great coop build!
You've really included everything in this article... from the build pics to the computer generated plans, ongoing maintenance & cleaning, updates & ideas on what you'd do differently. What an informative article. Great job!

I just LOVE this coop idea! You wrote a super article with lots of great pictures. If I could give you 6 stars I would. Did you ever come up with a estimate of the cost to build material wise? I'm so happy seeing the chicken hugs, reminds me of our grandson. Thank you again for the great article.
This is a super cool coop design, and i love how it shows you how to build it step to step and i love the chicks growing up at the end! super nice coop and because its a coop you have to build you can make the coop bigger or smaller if you want! super cool!
I loved this design so much that I bought the plans and built it for myself. With little experience in Sketchup, I managed to print some views for my handyman. he was very resourceful and took it from there. Here's my coop
This is a great well written coop article. I'd like to see the bit about how many chickens it's designed for up top. The materials list and all the diagrams are great! And I enjoyed the time-lapse video of the construction, with the cheerful "you could do this!" music, and the wandering big blue ball.

I like the windows you added - wondering if those were built from scratch or premade. I paid to have a coop built for us, but I'm thinking it needs more windows and wondering how best to go about it.

The windbreak for snow looks useful for northern people.

I'm totally not a handyman type, and I think I made the best decision to pay coop builders - but this article almost makes me believe I could do it - and if I ever did my own, I'd want to work from an article like this.
Nice coop for free ranging girls!!
I need to extend my present coop but on seeing this I am now going to make from scratch. Your detail is top notch and easy to follow. Excellent construction and tutorial. Thank-you
This article leaves nothing out. The details of how they did things from attaching the ramp to making the water heater. The pictures are great quality and give the feeling that you have just toured their coop in person. Magazine worthy article!
Love the step by step instructions, lots of good hints and ideas. It was delightful to see your
youngest daughter grow into her love for the chickens. All four of your daughters are beautiful
and I’m sure you are very proud of the young women they are becoming.

This article has it all - detailed instructions on how to build, including a parts and tool list, multiple diagrams and a time-lapse video. Then there are tips on winterizing, spring cleaning and more. It's a long article, but if you skip anything, you'll miss a good piece of information!
