    Thanks. There is actually a slight slope to the roof of the run portion. I tested it by "raining" over the whole deal with a garden hose and water just runs right off :thumbsup thanks for decoding btw

    Thanks, no I don't bother with all that. The plants were there before the chickens so I made a pen for them to hang out in on the side of the property where they're safe, They're fed layer feed and I give them fresh greens daily, mealworms a few times a week and scratch as a treat here & there...

    Carved out some time after work today to get some more done on the coop, and yep, the run portion will be roofed. I'm in FL so no worries about snow or extreme cold weather so my design is open air for good ventilation, with enough cover to keep the rain out.

    Thanks. They have a larger pen on the side of my property that they spend most of the day in. This is just their night/bad weather coop. Hard to tell in the photo but I can't get past the run with a wheel barrow if I bring it out further...which I need to be able to do to get to my garden. :-)

    I built a rain shelter recently for my chickens' "day pen" area. We dedicated a side of the yard to them so they have somewhere to forage and dust bath during the daytime hours when we are home. I set it up so we can see them roosting out of one of our living room windows. The chickens seem to...

    Thanks Sylvester! We moved in a year ago and have been busy doing a lot or repairs to the home (100 yr old bungalow). The garage and home were recently fumigated and a fresh coat of paint is next on the agenda. Because of the layout of our property and local ordinances regarding where the coop...

    I've started construction on my coop. Lots of work has gone into the foundation. Sloping the ground to drain the heavy downpours of rain we get here in Florida. I created a 2' skirt of chicken wire that is partially submerged and covered with rock to keep the digging predators out. I'm painting...

    Here is a nice little coop my dad put together for his new flock of 7 bantams. Free range in the yard during daytime hours and cooped at night. He painted it blue & red so I'll post some updated pics once I take them. On the far right you'll notice the outer edge of his pigeon coop that houses...
