    Another coop build

    Figured I would go ahead and document my coop and run build here. We had an existing pen for some type of animals that the previous home owner had. I decided to use that space for the coop and run. The coop is inspired by a youtube video from third coast craftsman. I took some measurements...

    Building a coop in the tropics

    Im in the process of designing a new, bigger coop for my silkies. I live in the tropics, so I get a lot of rain on occasions, and a lot of sun in others. What are good bedding options for a run? I wouldn't want my chickens to be walking on mud if possible and I need something to keep the...

    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

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...

    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.

    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...
