    Old barn to chicken coop

    Hi y’all! I’m in northwest Georgia and new to chickens. We’re trying to figure out the best coop solution for the layers. We do have an old barn on the property, but, in my opinion, it’s in a poor spot for a coop. It’s opens to the northwest, and toward the woods. The only other option is...

    Approaching a significant renovation

    We bought a house last year with an existing garden, chicken coop and run. We are into gardening and wanted chickens so it was a perfect fit… on paper. The mini coop they had for incubating wasn’t awful to clean out, and we have a dozen 12 week old chickens happily in that run and coop. We have...

    My New Coop's Renovation!

    Hi! I figured I'd post the pictures of my new coop that we've been making since July. I wanted to combine my ducks, bantams and big hens into one bigger coop. It's been quite the upgrade, and lots of research has been done. They had a 4'x4' coop with a 6'x8' run, but now they have a 7.3'x7.8'...

    Advice for Human/Chicken Shared Door

    I'm fixing up an old horse stable that was once converted into a turkey coop but was in serious disrepair when I came along on the scene. In many places I just have no idea what they were thinking when they "built" stuff...or how things were used. I've gotten most of it fixed up now but I'm...

    Need renovation ideas on expanding A frame coop.

    Hi all! Started out in April 2016 with tractor style A frame coop for 4 hens. Realized I wanted bigger run area so divided fenced yard gave them back part, dogs front part. So this allowed A frame coop to become stationary. I want to extend flooring to make a larger coop, which will also provide...
