KI4GOT's Small "Hoop Coop"
04.23.2011
Getting back into chickens again, I decided to plan it out a bit more than the first time around...
Tractor Supply had a neat idea on their website of using a dog house, a few other people have/had 'hoop coops' I liked. My large coop I plan to do "My Way"...
Orpington Palace
We designed our chicken coop with future in mind. We wanted it to be able to work as a shed if we should ever move or give up chickens, as a result I get to hear about how expensive and overdone the floor and supports are. I searched through probably hundreds of coops online and...
Our new coop and run that my husband and I designed. My husband build this almost entirely out of lumber and materials from an old workshed he tore down a few years ago. The Girls seem really happy in their new home.
This is the coop after some "embelishments." :)
This is the run access gate...
The Reedy Chicken Coop
I have always wanted chickens. I am not sure why. I have never had chickens, and am not sure if I have ever touched a chicken that still had its feathers. I just know I always wanted chickens. My lovely wife was not so thrilled about the idea, but I figured she would...
After much research into coop plans and building, I decided on a 4x 8 raised coop, inspired by Cluckingham Palace here on Backyard Chickens. I had to be able to build it myself with skills from working on household projects with my husband. With the exception of help to hold up large sheets of...
A Bayou Swamp Coop
Hey guys, I just finished my coop design and I am excited to show you. And I want to give credit to Jarhead for the ideas. I really liked his plans and modified them a little to get the coop I was shooting for.
As you can see it is a simple 2x4 and 2x3 construction along with...

Building of the coop and our Chickens
First Let me thank everyone who has put there coop pics and info on BYC. Without all the help from people here I'm sure I would still be redoing things as I had know clue on chickens before this spring.
I...
The Plans
as complete modular panels. I wanted to be able to walk in.While I was waiting for the chicks I went on the Austin Funky Chicken Coop Tour (this was great fun), I noticed everybody had more than one coop, I took this to mean that I should build as big as practically possible right...
The Misfit Barn (Salt Lake City, UT)
This coop was constructed using a prefabricated cedar dog house purchased at Lowe’s. Modifications to the original structure included adding an attached nest box, additional ventilation, vinyl covered plywood flooring, and two roosts.
After the loss of one...
Thanks for visiting.
We live in South Eastern Pennsylvania, outside of Philadelphia, on a 1 acre lot that includes a barn. The property used to be a chicken farm years ago, owned by a local hukster. But for the past 40 years, it hasn't seen another chicken. After much prodding to my wife, and...
Welcome to Debby10's Roost
Here's the latest and greatest stage of construction of my coop:
The chicken doors are also the ramps. There is one on each end, which will be convenient if I ever divide the coop. I'm closing in on the completion and will certainly be ready...
A Classy A-Frame Chicken Tractor
Hi! and welcome to my chicken tractor page. I hope you'll find some interesting ideas and inspiration from my design. I have a couple of innovations that I haven't seen in other designs like a simple "raccoon proof" latch design, adjustable ridge-vent...
My old chicken tractor was heavy and too small for my expanding flock, and my hens didn't have the sense to get out of the rain.
...Also, my girls need a secure place to sleep now that I have to separate them from the Roos, who get dibs on the nice secure garage coop, as it muffles their crowing...
The Baker's Dozen
So one day my wife tells me the feed store has baby chickens and wouldn't it be wonderful to raise our own chickens. I gave her that look, you know the one that could pierce concrete, and remind her that we know nothing about raising chickens. She suggests that perhaps we...
