    Shed Coop 2.0

    In the summer of 2023 we tore down the old shed that we converted part of into our coop, and then we built a new shed/coop combo from the ground up. The old coop worked, but the shed was here when we bought the house and it was beginning to show wear. It needed new siding, trim and doors, which...

    Pallet CoopMagedon

    I am one to think outside the box and since I live in a limited fixed income I am always looking for cheap but sturdy ideas. That's why my first coop, when I had 1 rescue chicken was made of an old solid wood cabinet. It was 2ft × 3ft and it worked great for her. This year I enlarged my flock...

    Those of us who hatch often have spare boys who need to be gotten out of the main flock because they're bothering the hens and annoying the Flockmaster rooster, I thought this quick-and-dirty build could be useful to others. Important Note: This is a medium-security holding facility for...

    Chicken Cabin

    This will be a photo journal, rather than a how-to. We made up the design based on a mishmash of coops on this forum. The main inspiration was The Colorado Coop but we wanted to make it bigger (and so needed to access the inside) and have an attached run. But we loved her ventilation system and...

    The Making of The Clucking Cabana... It took us 8 months of chicken tending to realize we needed to build our girls their dream coop! We started our journey with the basic tractor supply coop. The only good thing to come from the TS coop was how quickly it taught us what we wanted & needed in...
  8. My Coop

    My Coop

    Hi everyone! This post is a long time coming. When we first got chickens we went through about 3 prefab coops over the course of 5/6 or so years. Each one had to be replaced after only a year or two and we wasted hundreds of dollars. So, in 2018 we decided to invest in a solid coop that will...

    Play Structure to Chicken Coop Conversion

    The former homeowners left this jungle gym since their kids no longer use it. My wife and I decided we needed to sell it to make room for a pergola or a gazebo as this sits right behind the pool and we thought it would be a good place for a lounge area. INSPIRATION struck when my wife said...

    I had thought about getting some backyard chickens for my acreage a few years ago and then for whatever reason decided that I didn't want the hassle, especially in the winter. Then this spring the idea crept back into my little head and I decided that I wanted to have a little flock of about a...

    Collapsible Coop

    Hello all, I'm in the process of building my first coop. I've had waaaaay too much time to think about it! My main areas of concern are cleanliness related - I don't want bugs/mites/lice to be able to get much of a foothold if possible. I'm starting out with 12 Dark Cornish children, looks like...

    Thinkso I made a 4x4 base with center brace. Used 2" screws and countersink bit. Screw 1x4s from the old playhouse and pallet planks to like the floor. Used 2x4 in each corner to make 4 ft tall, made a frame around the top of that. Took the planks off the old roof and cut a sheet of plywood in...

    I wanted to share the coop my husband made for us. It is almost complete. The coop is 5’ X 8’ with a 3-foot porch. The run is 8 x12 with a roof. It has an automatic chicken door between the coop and run. We still need to make nesting boxes, flooring for the porch and some pretty landscaping. I...

    We recently bought a house, and after several years, and lots of chickens, I had to make some big decisions about our flock. Ultimately, since we were going to have far less land, I decided to was time to downgrade our flock from 25 to 6 chickens. Our neighbors bought the majority of the flock...
