With a lot of help from Back Yard Chickens in the last two years, our flock is happily thriving. Two years ago I submitted my design plans to Back Yard Chickens and I’m so grateful for the extensive suggestions for changes. I cringe to think of my original plans with walls and little windows (in...
Just wanted to share some pictures of the Chicken Pen I built towards the end of 2020. I built this over the course of 3 weekends. Not the fanciest thing in the world by no means but I am happy with it and have no doubt that it should get the job done. Also, I live in Central Alabama and we very...

Working at a shelter, it is TOO easy to add another animal. I already have a litter box and cat food so what's another cat... that kind of thinking. I should've known from the start "chicken math" would get me bad! My first chicken was a stray at the shelter.
The Beginning...
I picked up a...
We finally have our coop mostly done and worked out a few kinks. We have 14 chickens so our coop is fairly large and we did make the coop and run high enough that we can walk in for ease of clean-up.
Our coop is 7x8 and our run is 16x7. We used pressure treated wood for everything in the...
Hi all. I'm remodeling my chicken coop and I wanted to build/buy a chicken coop that had a large run attached to it. I have four hens and a rooster. Does anyone have any blueprints, ideas, or coop
suggestions that I can buy or build? Thanks in advance for anyone who takes the time to respond!
Ok guys, I am so stinking excited I just have to share! :weePlus, maybe it will help someone out. :D
I decided to build my coop rather than buy one. I have never built anything bigger than a small birdhouse in my life... and that was a kit! My brother-in-law helped me build the floor and my dad...
This is our Barn Red Coop.
I had to change phones so the building pics were lost. Then I had back surgery, then we moved. So I will do my best to explain it. I had help from my son and husband on this. My son framed it. My son used 2x4s for basic framing but used 2x6s for support corners and...
Hi All,
We started keeping chickens about six years ago, and we built The Garden Coop then (http://www.thegardencoop.com/ & my post about it http://bit.ly/gardencoopraleigh). It has held us in good stead, but, as happens, we have caught the chicken bug and decided we wanted more hens—and a...
I could not be more excited to finally share our BELOVED chicken coop. When we bought our house, I knew that I wanted to add chickens to our fur/feather family. After months of planning, discussing, more planning, and finally just DOING - our coop is complete! We were lucky that our property...
