New to the site, but browsed coop designs extensively when looking at getting chicks this spring. Took me 2 years to pull the trigger on chickens, and now we have 3 blue laced golden Wyandotte chicks and 3 Guinea keets feathering out waiting for their new home. Started about 10 weeks ago, with...

Decided to jump into raising chickens since I am teleworking due to covid. I reached out to the folks with the Wichita Cabin Coop Plan but never got a response. So, I looked at several of the coops you guys built here and came up with my version. I built a coop and an adjoining storage space...

This was not only my first attempt at building a chicken coop, it was also my first attempt at building any type of structure but I think it came out ok! Our little flock does seem happy in it, and I think it will protect them from our snowy winters!

Looking for Wichita Cabin Coop plans. Does anyone know where to find them?

We had a friend help us build the main structure of the house and run. We hung vintage windows that we had acquired many years ago from side of road. We painted it with the same colors used on our house. The hardware cloth was the most difficult but now this thing is like Ft Knox. Our biggest...

Hello everyone I wanted to share some pictures of our coop and some of the process of building it. First off a huge thank you to The Witchita Cabin Coop. After a quick scan of this site you will notice a ton of people have been helped out by this coop. Please check it out if you haven’t yet. A...

We actually finished the coop in May, but I just got my chicks this Tuesday. I thought I'd post a few pics of the construction and the finished coop. My last coop was a tractor design, so this construction was a lot different and it's built to never move! I found that looking at how others...

I’m new to the forum, but eager to show off my coop because I think it came out nice. My design was certainly inspired by the popular “Wichita” style. If you’re interested, I’ve included a link that summarizes my coop build:

Garden Coop http://www.thegardencoop.com/ Wichita Cabin Chicken Coop http://homesteadlifestyle.com/diy-wichita-cabin-chicken-coop/ I am not that build savy, could someone tell me what the main difference is between these two? I like the style with the single roofline and raised coop. To my...

Just one question (right now), how high should the coop portion be off the ground? I am only 5'1"so any vents or windows to open and close would have to be within my reach. I will have at least a waterer hanging from the framing board. Not sure about the feeder. I am considering the pvc type...

Thinking about where to place my roosts in my wichita style coop. I plan on using poop trays. Anyone have pictures of their set ups? Thanks all

Hello everyone! After our online coop disaster, we just bought the plans for the Wichita cabin coop. We are going to enlarge it to accommodate 7-8 birds. If anyone has built one and has any advice to share, I'd appreciate it. Thanks! I will do a step by step with pics!

Its been a while, but I'm back. Recently moved out of parent's house and now have a small house on 1.25 acres. So of course, new chicken coop! Since its just me and BF, I want to stick with 4-6 hens ( at least for a couple years) and leaning toward the wichita style coop because of the...

I have decided on the Wichita coop design. I was wanting to clear a few things up. I am gonna have 4 hens. I plan on doing the deep litter method. One thing I'm confused with is does this method apply to the run or the actual roost house? Also. I plan on free ranging in my back yard most...

Hello All, I picked up the coop design from baldessariclan and I am re designing it to fit my 6'x12' idea. I am a cabinet maker by trade with 22 years exp. so this is going to be a little bit different from what I am use to building. I think I can do it :) Below is the sketch up file so far. I...

I am new to this. I have been wanting chickens for years now. Decided this is the year! I haven't purchased chicks yet. I need to build or buy coop. Thought I would go with Frizzles or Silkies. Anyone have suggestions for me, would be appreciated.

Hello everyone, I am busy at work planning out my first coop in many years. I am using the Wichita Cabin Coop for inspiration, but I have a question: Has anyone ever anchored their WCC to the foundation? The instructions (which I know are really guidelines) indicate to just set the coop on...
