    Building our first coop

    Ok, so a few weeks ago I had asked for some ideas on how to build a coop on a budget since everything pre-fab was either too small or way too expensive. I got a few great ideas (like the hoop coop and converting an old kids playhouse) and realized that our neighbor was trying to give away their...

    Cozy Rustic Pallet Coop

    I thought some of you may be interested in seeing the coop I designed and built using old pallets. I'm petty handy so after looking at too many coop plans to count I decided to design and build my own incorporating the features I wanted for my small flock of 4-7 chickens. For starters, I wanted...

    Chicks in hand... coop in progress!

    3 days old. Had a quick build type kit for a 7x8 shed so decided to just modify it to fit my needs, I hope! Use some left over stuff from my shop build so that helped. Still needs paint and working on the run. Automatic (timer) pop door using solar to charge the battery. Adding more roost...
