Okay, so I've had so many ideas about Tweet's coop, at one point we were gonna buy one, then at another point we wanted a doghouse coop, but we've made a final decision.
Our neighbor has a cute little coop and 3 hens, 2 silkies and an EE, and she can't take care of them anymore. So she's giving...
Well, look what I found!

DESIGN
Roof comes with lifetime warranted shingles.
There are lots of windows for light and ventilation.
An entry door provides easy access and cleaning.
A 10" overhang provides protection from rain over the open windows...
I could also easily get the doghouse insulated, so he's not just sitting in a drafty wooden box. I could stick a lamp in there for warmth, and I can keep his water from freezing by just changing his water a few times a day. It shouldn't be hard to keep a Serama warm in the winter...
Okay, so here's the deal.
My mom's telling me I should wait until spring, since it's gonna be a cold winter, or so she thinks. But Tweet has to have his first winter sometime, why not this year?
*shrugs*
What's your opinion? Maybe if I get some good reasons to build it this year, she'll let me...
Yeah well I meant the doghouse to just be the coop, they'd only be locked in it at night. They'd likely be in the run (I'm gonna build a run to attach to the coop) most of the time.
Okay, what do y'all think of this doghouse?

I think it seems like a nice size for a teeny Serama roo and a few girls, no?
Okay, I decided, instead of building a frame and all that, I'm gonna make a doghouse coop. It's faster, easier, and I can found the perfect doghouse. I can paint it up real nice, add a run, and boom, a perfect Serama coop.
What do y'all think about this one? FREE SHIPPING! hahaha...
I do have rabbits, so I have a pen, and I suppose I'll get a few chicken diapers (Hahaha, the sound of that just makes me laugh, I've never seen diapers for a chicken. Hah), so Tweety may have fun in the rabbit pet without soiling the ground, harming the bunnies. It would be so cool having Tweet...
Thanks! I looked last light, and found one that seemed easy enough, even I could do it! xD
Me- Mom, so I wanna build Tweet his own coop, to keep him from getting trampled by the ducks and rooster. I think he also needs 2, maybe 3 girls with him. Haha.
Mom-Wait, woah, more chickens? Where are...
I have one lonely Serama roo, Tweet, and I'm afraid he may get trampled by the Maran roo and the Mallards. So I'm thinking about making a small coop for him. I'm thinking maybe just a simple house with a door, leading into a run? I'm looking for any tips on building a small coop, anything at...
