    Flatcreekfarms Chicken Coop

    My Starter Coop and very first Building Project! Let me preface this by saying: I've never built anything by myself -- only assisted hubby in remodeling projects, etc. Secondly, I've had chickens several years ago - like 20+ years ago, so I'm having fun renewing my chicken knowledge. I've...

    Show me your..............

    These have been kept in waiting for many years (we have another set just like this one if we should 'happen' to get more chickens ). Vintage nesting boxes that need a good cleaning and the roost boards fixed up. We also saw a fixer upper set of these nest boxes (nearly identical to ours) for...

    New Bigger Coop - Pics in Link

    On behalf of my DH... thanks everyone!! Ok, some history on the door: When we moved into this ol' farmhouse 30+ years ago there were some nice, more decorative gingerbread screen doors already on the house. This particular screen door was not attached, simply leaning up against the wall on the...

    New Bigger Coop - Pics in Link

    I have pics of the little coop that I built on my BYC page, but wanted to show off hubby's coop. We are almost finished - just a coat of red paint and a few details, and the run. The flight netting arrived today for that. Of course, we knew we'd need more room with our little flock. And none too...

    My chicken coop (pic heavy)

    Girl Power!!! I love it. You really did a fantastic job. I built my little starter coop while hubby was away for a month, training for a new job. However, HE is building "his" coop now (almost finished).. a full-sized one. My little coop project gave me the building bug, and who knows what will...

    Coop de FlatCreek finished... well *almost* :)

    Thanks! And I should clarify again - forgot to add it here. I plan to keep alllll the 16 chickens, so this is only their starter/brooder coop. however, with plans to make it mobile, it should come in handy as a portable coop w/ future movable run also. I sure have big plans.. LOL.. now to find...

    Starter Coop, and 1st Building Project! Updated 5-18. It's Chick Week!

    Thank you again. When I look over that 'still to do' list, I get a little antsy. Better find time today for carpentry! Prospector, you are absolutely correct about the eggshell finish vs semi-gloss. I may re-think my choice. My biggest deciding factors are that the eggshell paint was free and...
