My coop is finished and being used by my new chicks. I'm going to name it "MY PLACE". It's where I go to be by myself and watch and enjoy my flock. I'm 65 and have no real building skills. But I love "My Place". I built this mostly out of scrap and cull wood, except for the roofing and some of...

On my new coop and hutch I left the top gap for ventilation. There's a lot more gap on my current coop, and the chickens stayed nice and warm during our winters. Even last winter when it was so cold our water pipes froze. Nice job!

I put up another wall this morning. Here is my garden area and my new chicken coop area. I love it. Of course I still need to paint, make a few tweaks and put on roofing. The roofing will have to wait till I can save up some cash. ~~ I did all this work by myself with a circular saw, level, tape...

WOW, What a great job. It is a palace!

Here is my newest project, still a work in progress. As usual, not fancy and working on a shoestring. https://www.backyardchickens.com/g/a/6621844/hutch-coop-and-run-new-building-project-winter-2013-2014# I will add more pictures as things progress.

I'm building a 4x4 raised coop. I was thinking it would be good for a brooder, isolation, or even for a mating pair. And it's giving me experience for the larger coop I will be building later this winter. At the moment it's still a work in progress. I need to make a trip to the big city to the...

This is still a work in progress. I'll do more tomorrow. I got more framing done and put in a roost. I had to remove some of the braces, do some cutting and re-install differently. I need to do some more shopping for hardware cloth, L brackets, hinges and who knows what else before I can...

It was 29F degrees this morning, but I got some more framing done. I had to re-charge my firestorm battery again.

I like that, it really looks good. You were lucky to get pallets in such good condition. Congrats on a job well done. I like your pretty chickens too.

I've started building again. This is going to be a little raised hutch for a brooder, or a single brooding hen or isolation, or whatever I need it for. Again, I'm working with pallets, some scrap wood and a bit of new wood I bought on Christmas eve. I want to get this, a new coop and a new run...

My hubby isn't a fan of my chickens, (or might be the crowing rooster), either, but likes the fresh eggs. He doesn't know I will be building another coop and run and getting 25-50 new chicks to raise for meat. Oh dear, and some will be cocks in the straight runs. LOL. Of course all the care...

Thank you so much. Encouragement is always welcome. I'm working on plans for more building for a meat flock in the spring. I love all the BYC photos and ideas. We love being in the middle of nowhere, but my family thinks we're crazy. Mainly because we are 2 hours from the nearest hospital.

After seeing some of these beautiful coops, (nice enough for me to live in), I'm ashamed of the one I built. I'm drooling and dreaming. Good jobs everyone!

good job.
