Average Gringo's Chicken Coop

I finally talked my wife into letting me get some chickens to raise for our family. But with no place to house them, I was in desperate need of a chicken coop. So our adventure begins with putting together something for them to live in..... I started with two 6', 5"x6" treated timbers for the...

I bought my chicks and hens thinking our new coop would arrive sooner than it did. But we got busy building a tractor and had two humungous totes we used for brooders. That took care of things temporarily. Within a week, I knew the chicks were outgrowing their brooder boxes. Yikes! So I got busy...

A COOP IS BORN . . . (check out other page for Coop #2) Built the pen a few months earlier, beneath the treehouse I'd built years ago. Figuring the chickens would need a coop, I started cobbling one together from scrap and salvaged wood. It turned out pretty well. The roosts are...

Building our Coop I designed the coop and run myself but this was truly a family project. Two of my sons helped me build our coop which truly makes it special to me. We got a lot of wood from people. We re-purposed a lot of stuff too. All in all we were able to build the coop for less than $300...

April 19, 2009 Well here we go! :) We decided to buy 15 pullets from our local Feed store, they should be coming in this week. We have been finding scrap material from different sources. Definitely not ashamed to "re-use and recycle" material. My wonderful hubby is an excellent carpenter and...

My coop started from a vacant horse stall. We start adding walls onto the existing poles. The laying boxes will be accessed from the outside with a flip up door. This is the cleanout door. You can see part of the roost on the inside. This is the same side with both doors closed...

***More pictures and details to be added later*** Our coop has evolved throughout the years. It had it's beginning as a Play House for our daughter back around 1999. When she grew out of it, it then was called the Club House because our son was using it and Play House just didn't seem right...

Our coop, competed September 5, 2010 The coop is 6'x4', with the run extending an extra 12'. I'd show you plans, but my husband built it without any. (He's like that) We were lucky to have access to lots of scraps, and extras lying around, which kept our costs down. We used hardware cloth...

We started our coop in January 2010. The weather was lovely, as you can see from the t-shirt clad work crew (DH&DS). Unfortunately, the weather didn't hold. Despite lots of snow and rain and the resulting muck, we're still on track to get our chickens in February. One of the previous owners of...
