    Turning greenhouse into chicken coop

    I'm switching my round greenhouse into my new chicken coop. What is the best way to secure the hard cloth to the frame? I'm pretty confident about the length...don't know how to secure it on the sides of the building Or where the top meets the sides

    Has anyone recently converted a greenhouse to use as a coop?

    Looking for suggestions of greenhouse models. We want the frame, not the cover. We'd discard the cover and replace it with 1/2" hardware cloth and a tarp over half of that. One end would be 15/32" plywood with a vent for airflow and the other would have a 30"x80" steel door (overkill but that's...

    Baby Chicks & Tractors

    Unfortunately, the day after Christmas a dog (German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois) jumped over our pasture fence and "got" 23 of our chickens. (BTW: We raised the fence!). Now we are trying to get chickens ASAP, so they can hopefully start laying early spring/summer. We have a commercial size...

This is a bit...

    Greenhouse aviary?

    Does anyone use a portable greenhouse structure to keep their quail? How did you fortify it? I was originally considering something like this: With chicken wire zip tied to the bottom/ potentially around the sides to prevent predators? It’s 10’x 3’ and 20” tall But now I’m considering a...

    Anyone using greenhouse vent openers on their coop?

    I'm adding windows to the south side of my coop to lighten it up inside/give the hens more options for winter sunbathing on blustery days. We're far enough south (northern Virginia) that the coop does heat up quickly in the summer, so I'd like to put the windows on hinges and prop them open in...

    Hoop Greenhouse as a Coop?

    Hey Guys! We're getting out of the city next month to move into our new forever home - a 3.18HA block of hilly pasture and native bush. What does this mean? More room for chickens! We'd previously been on the city cap of 6 hens and no roosters, but I am now very happy that I can keep all 3...

    Greenhouse to Hoop Coop Conversion

    I am in the planning stage of converting a greenhouse of sorts into a hoop coop. I have a few ideas for it and know that HWC is a given. I am leaning towards a large tarp instead of corrugated panel for cost and ease reasons. I would like to hear more thoughts and ideas to be able to make the...

    Greenhouse duck coop, can I make it work?

    Hey guys! I have made a few threads in the past about fixing the mud problem in my duck coop. I'm adding greenery, hoping that will help absorb water, but have found that everyone with the most success has two areas to rotate the ducks through. I found a way to make a second area, I'm thinking...

    From Greenhouse to Duck Coop

    I love BYC. It really helped me when I started raising chickens 5 years ago. I got great ideas for coop design and was really well informed when I brought my little fluffy chicks home. This year I wanted to add ducks to our garden and while I bought Storey‘s book on raising ducks I just...

    New Coop (with winter and summer run) and greenhouse access

    So my chickens used to live in their coop inside the garage with a doggie door exit, but due to the smell, dust, and the fact we like to work out in there, I had to swing a deal with my husband: Build me a greenhouse so I can access them from an indoor location. He could barely follow my wild...

    Hoop coop covers — dark vinyl/greenhouse

    My son and I have just about finished buying and acquiring all the items and tools we need to build our first chicken hoop coop. Originally we had thought of just using dark vinyl tarp over the whole 8’ (2 cattle panel) length. Now I’m wondering about having 1 panel covered in dark vinyl and the...

    Hello, I currently have backyard chickens but will be moving to a bigger piece of land. I am wanting a coop for about 20 chickens, and a greenhouse. My question is can/do you combine the two? Or is better to have two different structures? Pros? Cons? Anyone with experience or insight I would...
