    Miller's South Jersey Coop

    My daughter had ben asking for chickens for almost a year. I'm a pushover but it took a long time for my wife to relent. We went and checked out some other chickens and coops in the area to make sure it was something we really wanted to do. Once deciding we were going to raise chickens I got the...
  2. Sunflower Coop

    Sunflower Coop

    It all started a few years before when I wanted a pet. . . Who thought it would turn into this chicken addiction?? Thankfully, my mom was on my side and convincing my dad was a breeze. He was the one who made this coop for me. We had no plans and no experience in building. Pretty much, my mum...

    Coopula Coop

    Apologies for the blurry photo...it will be replaced when I find my camera downloading thingie! This coop design started with the idea that we needed rain shelter for our goats, and if we were building a roof anyway, we might as well raise it by a couple of feet and make it a...

    Mama Aflec's Chick House

    I have been wanting chicks for a long time and the weekend before Easter Mark looked at me and said, "You wanna go get some chicks?" My response was "HECK YA!!!" So off we went to the local farm store. In our case, *The chick's came before the Coop!* Now that we had all these chicks we had to...

  6. Old School Sky Light

    Old School Sky Light

    Very simple design based off an old barn. The building's elevated window faces the east so that the earliest rays from the sun fill the coop. Depending on how many birds you would like to keep, this coop can be made very small or very big. The loftiness inside also lends itself to quality...

    I am a newbie to chicken raising since I purchased my first chickens in August 2012. I have 4 hatchery Plymouth Partridge Rocks. I originally purchased one of those cute prefabricated chicken coops that state they will house between 4-6 chickens.(they were stretching the truth on that) I...

    Virginia Woodland Coop

    After nine months of having three chickens in a tractor, we've recently finished building a permanent structure. As we're in Virginia, we are trying to take both our hot, humid summers and our sometimes bitter winter spells into consideration as we build. The last nine months has taught us a lot...

    Horse Trailer to Chicken Coop Conversion

    Chicken math was kicking in and I needed a bigger coop... but with financial challenges paired with the fact that we are renting a farm that is currently on the market (meaning we could be asked to move at any time) we didn't want to spend a heap of money on something that we either couldn't...
  11. Metal Shed into coop

    Metal Shed into coop

    I decided last year that I wanted chickens and I was surprised that my husband agreed. I did not want to spend a ton of money on this new venture of mine so I wanted to find ways to make this venture a reality without hurting our budget. The coop is 8'x 10' and the run is 10'x 16' We started...

  12. Coop/shed

    Coop/shed

    I searched the internet for days trying to decide how to design my coop. I felt like if I was going to be building a structure I wanted to kill two birds with one stone (maybe not at good phrase here) and get both a coop and a shed out of it. I couldn't find anything like it so I got to the...
  13. A Well Insulated Chicken Coop

    A Well Insulated Chicken Coop

    We live in Eastern Ontario, Canada and our climate has had a very large influence on the design of the chicken coop that we just finished building. The summer temperatures here vary between 75˚F and 90˚F and the winter temperatures at night time are between 0˚F and -30˚F. Because of this, we...

    Fowlies Bregère (after a dozen years some photo links were broken; I've edited and tried to put the correct pix back, or substituted new ones... sorry if anything in the story doesn't flow quite right). Our original coop and run was built on an existing fenced in 8' x 20' concrete slab, an...

    The Girls Summer Home

    Our chicken coop is about a year in the making! We started with a cardboard box, and we slowly moved into a coop we bought online. As our flock of three grew to seven, more space became a necessity. This is when we embarked on our final addition to "The Girls' Summer Home" as we now call it. We...
