    Work in progress but love it!

    Man oh man have I daydreamed about my coop for months! The main portion of the coop is complete except some painting and trim! It’s a large 8x8 so we can get plenty more if we want ☺️ I still have more pictures to take now that the door is also on. Next is the flyway. The inside is at least done...

    How tall?

    I have been looking at coops for awhile now. I have narrowed it down to 4x5 for 4-5 hens. The only dimension I can not find is how tall should your coop be? Looking for height from floor to roof. Some articles say 3 1/2 feet height. What height is your coop from floor to roof?

    The Hen House

    As a first time chicken owner I really don’t know if what I’m doing is right or wrong or as long as I treat my chickens well and keep them happy, fed and a nice home all will be well. We used to have a Great Dane and she sadly passed, but we will be using the dog house we built for her as our...

    DIY automatic watering?

    I know there's another thread here with this topic, but now that I joined, I can't find it. I would like to make an automatic waterer from a 55 gallon drum. My rain barrel is about 30 feet from the henhouse. Although I am in the process of building a bigger henhouse closer. I was in the...

    During the build process. There are the same number of roosts at opposite ends of the henhouse. There are 20 nests along the back wall. Along the same wall are two windows and under the front edge of the roof is venting that stretches the full length of the house. The house itself is 8’ x 20’.

    Brian's Coop

    I’m new to the forum, but eager to show off my coop because I think it came out nice. My design was certainly inspired by the popular “Wichita” style. If you’re interested, I’ve included a link that summarizes my coop build:

    How Chickens Conquered This Backyard The method of the chicken infiltration was simple, patient, and very effective. They had a powerful ally in my wife who argued convincingly, "I want chickens." And thus began the year long attrition of this backyard to the commandeering force of backyard...
