    Thank you all for your kind remarks! It's a real honor. This was a rewarding project. It works well. We've haven't lost any hens to predators.. Some random thoughts:) *A flat roof can generate a lot of lift in heavy winds.. Use metal clips to secure roof to walls. * I got the hinges at...

    Noyolks Chicken Coop With Progress Pictures

    This our brand new coop my husband built. We just love it! So do our 22 "girls". My husband has a sawmill so he did everything, from cutting down the logs then into dimensional lumber and building it. We are going to put an iron hen on the door. These are our "girls"-they are Golden Comets...

    I need your Ideas Please,

    Good Work! I would just paint the Plywood door some dark color like leather brown or whatever you like and do the same to the small door. Don't do anything more to the siding.Caulking or chinking would NOT be worth the time and experience imo. It looks as though you have enough overhang to...

    Great job! linoleum for sure. Keeps moisture off of subfloor and that will help keep the smell down. I use short roun logs to hold my waterers and feeders.It works great! They are probably 6" or 7" high.Hint: Try to find a diameter of log that is the same diameter of your feeders so they won't...

    Hi Hypnotist_Collectr .Thanks for the kind words! Your in good shape. Just go over the seams with 1 1/2" or 2" strips. When your nailing the seams,try not to nail through the boards.The nails should hit the framing that the boards are nailed to.The boards will want to expand and contract with...

    Hello BantyRooster! I used primarily white pine for the framing and siding.At first I was a bit concered about this choice.So I would go to old farms to see what the old timers used.It was white pine! I estimated some of these coops and barns to be at 75 years old. If I keep a good roof on it...

    Hi CANNY.... The fencing is 6'. The hight of the actual fence is 5'9" with 3 inches or so beneath ground level to dicourage the pesky predators...When I let the girls in their run for the first couple times,A few hens did fly and land on the fence. So I clipped all of their right wings one at a...

    Hi RandytheEggMan...At first,the chickens would lat their eggs on the FLOOR or a haybail I had in the corner! (the haybail was by far their favorite.) I would tell the birds how nice the boxes were and how lucky they were to have them. Then several hens started using a couple of the same boxes...

    Hi ANNEK...The sawmill is pretty large and is all hydraulic.They're pretty expensive.You can get basic manual mills for maybe 5-7 thousand.You can certainly do it;) Another option is to hire a miller to come in and saw your logs.They charge differently in different parts of the country,but it...
