    Our first ever (coop) build!

    To be fair, it’s our first build… at all! Please do be gentle with feedback as we really put a lot of time, money, and love into it - but we absolutely do want to get feedback on how to make it better! We still need to fill in the bitty cracks in the wall, which we are in process of right this...

    Coop building

    We got a playhouse and decided to turn it into a coop. It’s a two story playhouse. We’ve taken all exterior boards off put floors in both top and bottom. Removed slide and ladder. Our idea was to put door on bottom where nesting boxes would be with a ramp up to the 2nd floor. Of course the whole...

    Coop build

    This is my first project and I feel very proud of it! I’m only starting with two chickens, with the thought that I might eventually move to 6. 🫣 (working in enclosing the run next) I wanted to show it off, and also ask if my birds are going to poop on each other/I should arrange the roosts...

    First chicken coop build

    As my wife and I are new to having chickens and due to the shear amount of them I will end up with (see introduction past for story), the "small" prebuilt coop just wont cut it so I am in the process of building a much larger coop from scratch. I have plenty of building experience but wanted to...

    New coop build question.

    Hi all! We are building a new coop and run for our girls. My question is if these 1/4” rocks are unsafe to use for the run floor and if we need to clear it out? Added photos. Fenced area is their indoor run right now.

    Converting metal building to coop

    I have a metal building that I'll be using a portion of for my coop. The building is on a concrete foundation (critter dig proof) and I'm looking for recommendations on what to put on the ground so that they aren't walking on the hard concrete.

    Building a coop!

    Hi everyone! So I'll be getting my chicks in May- between 8 or 10 black Australorp hens, and 1 rooster. My husband is amazing at building, and is insisting on building our own coop, but neither of us really understand exactly how much room is needed for it, or the run. I'm mostly curious...

    Building a coop from scratch

    Renovation of Old Shed for a New Coop

    After a couple of years of thought, we are ready to start raising chickens. Initially we were going to either buy a premade coop or build our own. Then the thought came to mind: Why not explore renovating this existing shed on our property to serve the purpose? Structurally, it is very solid...

    Where to start - DIY Coop + Run

    Hello all! It's me again. So, all 19 remaining nuggets of ours are happy and healthy! They're one week old and we hope/expect that since half of them were sexed, we may end up with 13-14 hens. IF one of the roos is the temperament we're looking for, we'll keep a roo from the batch too. But...
