    Modifying Deer Blind for coop

    I've been slowly increasing flock size, and am needing a larger coop. I don't really have any way to personally pick up lumber, and unless you can select pieces yourselves these days, you really get a lot of crap lumber when you have store pick & deliver for you. I'm also not happy with the...

    Opinions on Predator-Proofing

    Hi, all! I have a pre-fab coop from Tractor Supply that I plan on using until I’m able to complete my long-term goal of building my own coop and run. Now that it’s built and painted, the next step is predator-proofing. Originally I wanted to bury hardware cloth to deter digging predators...

    Is a slide-out pan for cleaning out the coop nice to have or stupid?

    I've decided I'm probably going to build a coop instead of buying a prefab...lots of the prefabs have a little pull-out tray in the coop to supposedly make it easier to clean out the coop. Is this just a stupid feature of prefabs or something actually useful? Thanks!

    Prefab coops that (mostly) don't suck under $1000

    I'll eventually build something awesome, but can't right now for various reasons. Realistically it may be a year or two before I build a big permanent coop, I would love some recommendations on decent prefab coops under $1k. Here are some criteria I'm looking for: Coop+run big enough for 4...

    UK newbie's small pre-fab coop and enclosure.

    Five days ago, I could say that we had never kept chickens before. However, we now have four beautiful hybrid hens from a local, independent farm shop. They are gorgeous and we love spending time with them. Our son (like virtually all children) had been making noises about wanting a pet. We do...

    Anyone have Experience with this Coop?

    I used to raise and show ducks when I was growing up and want to get some again. I am not too handy as a carpenter, but I can attach hardware cloth, paint/stain and do minor reinforcement to a coop if needed. Just not sure I can build my own. I want to have 2 ducks, 4 max (girls only). As a...

    Pre-Fab Success Story

    Yesterday marks the one year anniversary of the day we brought our four sweet little chicks home. Two Easter Eggers, Princess Laya and Hen Solo, a Gold-Laced Wyandotte, Pox, and a Barred Rock, Peep. It's been a fun adventure for my sixteen year old daughter and I. I'm a single mom with limited...

    Best coop option besides building one myself?

    I'm new here and new to raising chickens. It's been a dream for a while now, but I keep running into a wall when looking at coop options. Everything I've seen about prefab coops being flimsy and susceptible to cold and predators has made me hesitant to go this route. Unfortunately neither my...

    My 3 Girls and their first Milwaukee Winter!

    Here are some pics of my 3 Easter egger girls (our first chickens)! My husband and I have been using tips from this community and hoping for the best during week 2 of sub-zero temps in an unheated, pre-fab coop. So far so good! Here is what I’ve been doing: 1. My black Easter egger started...

    Has anyone bought a coop from mypetchicken.com?

    We thought we could build a coop...we were wrong! I'm trying to find a coop that doesn't need to be rebuilt completely, we are going to start with 3 or 4 chickens so I'm considering this one: https://www.mypetchicken.com/catalog/Chicken-Coops/The-Clubhouse-Coop-w-Run-up-to-4-chickens-p1167.aspx...
