    Its my coop and I helped :) pic heavy :)

    I love your coop! Would it be possible for you to start another thread with you're step by step instructions? I'd love to modify it just a bit for my space. It's the closest one to the size I need that I have found.

    small coop for in town?

    Because we need a cold hardy breed, I am considering orpingtons or SLWs. Hopefully with their wings cliped, they will stay in the garden area.

    small coop for in town?

    keeping broilers in the garage?

    Would it be possible for me to grow out a few meat birds if I kept them in the garage with a heat lamp? Would the smell be too much, even with the garage door cracked up a bit? How much room would they really need? If I built a 4x4 box would that be enough for 2 birds?

    Hello from Idaho

    Hi. I've talked my FI into helping me build a chicken coop for our small city lot. He wants me to do tons of research on it and refuses to have anything to do with the chickens once they are here. (I don't really blame him, I grew up on a farm where my dad had 300 stars for egg production...

    Rookie Coop Building Mistakes?

    This is the spot for the coop. not very big but I think it will work. Other thoughts were to cut a hole in the fence to the left... That's the garden, and allow them access to it when it isn't planted... which is like September till June. I know that I would probably have to make the fencing...
