New pictures. Still working on it. Should complete this summer while off work. We have to finish the roof, paint and landscape. We will also attach the original A frame run to the side where the little screen chicken door is. The little room at the end has already been an infirmary, boody buster...

Hi Joseph, I was wondering if you finally got your coop from Green Chicken Coops. Sounds like you did and everything is going well. Mine is holding up nicely especially since we now have the coop and run covered with a metal roof. That should extend the life of the structure for a long time. I...

Hi SaraBee, I'm glad you found this thread as well. I don't know how much room you have for coop and run but if I could do it all over again I would get a wooden storage shed 8X10 from Lowes and retrofit it for a coop. If you have a handy carpenter that could easily be done then attach a run...

Thank you! And thank my handy husband...he hates chickens but has fallen in finally with all my plans and puts up with my avian love affair.

First Eggs from 2 ameracanas, one Buff Orp, one Barnvelder. Still waiting on two more holdouts a Barnvelder and Buff Orp. They started 12.16.12 at 8 months old.

The first picture is a peek through the back nesting box to the main room of the coop. There are two roosts. The coop goes up about 3 feet to the peak. It looks very small but there has not been a problem with them going in or sleeping. As a matter of fact in the hot summer they often go in and...

Your coop will be great! My advice is spend the extra 150.00 for the stand up run. You will be so glad you did. They had not come up with that feature until a few months after I purchased. I'm sure it is because so many people, especially men, could not move around inside the A frame run. I am...

I am sending pictures of our "run in progress". It will have a metal roof by this weekend that goes over the coop.

Hi Joseph, Sorry just got back on BYC, been busy. Green Chicken Coops is a great company and very people friendly. I think the problem is they hooked up with Williams Sonoma and have been overworked. Anyway, I love my Coop and my 6 girls love it too. They are just now starting to lay and have...

Hello from Bush, La. I have 2 "don't bother me" barnvelders, 2 sassy amercaunas and 2 laid back buff orpingtons. Hens all...we are still waiting for the magic eggs to arrive. I am ready to import a "laying instructor".

Lord I am like an expectant mother waiting for this first egg! One of my two Buffies has been pacing, running around and going into the coop alone. I listen and I can hear her singing while she is sitting in the nest box. She goes in and out of the coop all day. Sometimes the other 5 hens...

Here are today's pictures, lovely but labor intensive. I am looking forward to the eight foot high, brick floor run with running water and easy feeding and care. I am sure the girls will benefit from more room, roosts, large dusting area and space to get away.

I too am having buyer's remorse. My husband was ignoring all my lovely coop plans including 8 x 8 coop, 8 x 12 run and an attached shed for feed etc. He hates chickens (terrible early childhood encounter with a rooster). So I spent hours and hours on line looking at coops and runs. The prices...

Great pictures, thanks so much for your time and experience. You have had a time of it, but like you I feel the chickens are worth it.

Thank you for your thoughtful answer. It is much as I feared, more expense. But, your suggestion about evening runs is great. I will try that and hope they all decide to go to bed at the same time! What did you floor your big run with? Cement, gravel or just over bare ground?

I have had my 6 peeps since April 12. They are now getting big and in a Green Chicken Coop tractor and run. They are securely locked in at night and I have had no problems with predators. Two weeks ago my neighbor started losing some of his flock to a hawk. He saw the hawk swoop down and carry...
