Being fairly new to chickens, I haven't heard of most of the breeds you named. Now I will have to look them up to see what they look like. I bought most of my chickens from Cackle Hatchery. And we also hatched a few of our own eggs from our chickens. Made for some pretty mixed birds.

What breed is it you are looking for?

I like your setup!! Has a vintage look to it, and your automatic door caught my eye! I want to install one on my coop as well, who manufactures your automatic door? I have one in mind, opens using solar power and has a screw drive system. How much land do your chickens have to roam on? And...

Here's some of our colorful eggs. Enjoying all the beautiful colors of eggs being posted.

Here's me opening the door on the hutch for a picture. They just looked at me and went on about their business.

Check out Coastal Farms, they are getting ready for new chicks to come in. They have a lot of different breeds coming in, check with them.

Welcome to the Flock!!

I've never had one jump out of the nesting box when I open it. In my research when I was building the coop, I heard that if your egg boxes open from the top, it can disturb the chickens because the instinct of being attacked from above, like from hawks is strong. Usually they just sit there and...

Hello fellow PNW'er, just joined myself, having fun reading the articles here. Good luck with your new flock!

I have my egg boxes on the outside of my coop. You can see pictures of how I built them on my bio coop link. I like the door to open from the side down, it doesn't disturb the chickens when I open the door to check for eggs.

I used wood screws for everything, and very little pre drilling.

I can't wait to see more of this coop!! I'll have to count some while waiting, One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish... :gig

What a great coop!! You went to a lot more detail than mine, all the painting and cute dressings! I just went industrial, LOL! And I agree with you on how nice they look before the poop hits!. Well Done!! :thumbsup

Thank you very much, I enjoyed building it! If this is the chicken you were referring to, it's one of 7 Dark Brahma hens that I bought from Cackle Hatchery along with the Dark Brahma Rooster in 2017.

I based my coop on the Carolina Coop design. They have greatcoops, but pretty high prices. Www.Carolinacoops.com

Build your own if you can, you'll get the size you want and the design you want. For the price of a bought kit coop, you can build your own larger coop for less. I built mine with hand tools and a chop saw. Good luck, and I would be happy to offer my advice from what I learned building mine.

I live just outside the town of Jefferson, Oregon. Have 2 1/3 acres and 33 chickens!

Oh I forgot to ask if you plan on letting your flock out to free range for the day and locking them up at night?

I like your design, somewhat looks like mine, you can see my coop and my building of it by hitting the "My Coop" on my bio. I don't think you need to dig your predator perimeter down so deep, just make sure it goes out 2 feet all around the perimeter of your coop. And I didn't use any concrete...
