    Ms Biddy's Upcycled Swingset Coop

    Years ago, I helped my uncle put together a wooden swingset for my aunt. It was a place to sit together, relax and laugh. We enjoyed it for over a decade until time and the elements took their toll and the thinner boards on the seats began to rot and crack. My aunt and uncle aren't with us...

    Opinions on this small coop!

    We’re going to be getting some Silkie chicks, and we found the cutest little coop design, made out of a blue barrel of all things. I think it’s roughly 3x2, drill holes for ventilation, has a pull out tray for droppings, I’m going to attach a run, but we also have fenced in backyard they can...

    The Chicken Coop D'État!

    How Chickens Conquered This Backyard The method of the chicken infiltration was simple, patient, and very effective. They had a powerful ally in my wife who argued convincingly, "I want chickens." And thus began the year long attrition of this backyard to the commandeering force of backyard...
  5. Barred Rock coop and pen

    Barred Rock coop and pen

    This is my new pen that will be used for the chicks I hatched in early December and on New Year's Day. I started by forming a square base out of 4"x4"x10' treated posts... which equals roughly 100 square feet of run. Since the roof will be fairly light, I ripped treated 2"x4"s to form...
  6. Guinea Coop

    Guinea Coop

    Our home is turning into a little chicken village. We have several little "secure" houses with small runs that our chickens sleep in, but we let them free range during the day. We have a network of open "runs" using 5-ft welded wire fencing to help keep the chickens in our yard and the...

    Salvaged Coop - 4.25

    This started out as a simple coop made from salvaged materials from around my home and a few items purchased from my local Habitat Re-Store. It's my first attempt at a coop and like many others, there are several things that I would have done differently but it is what it is and has gone...
  10. Home Sweet Coop

    Home Sweet Coop

    About a year ago, I finally decided to go through with my plan to get a few chickens for eggs. We live in the city, so I planned to get 4 hens. I knew I would need a place for them to roost, thus the hunt for the perfect coop began. First I looked in books about the sorts of amenities coops...

  12. Diy Budget Coop

    Diy Budget Coop

    Being a bit handy but budget minded, I decided to build my own coop for the new ladies rather than buy something that a) may be too big or small, or b) cost WAY too much money. I landed on a 4ft by 6ft coop and run combo that cost just about $200 to build from locally sourced and mostly...
  13. Reclaimed Materials Coop

    Reclaimed Materials Coop

    My coop, 60"h x 65"w x 32"d has a 30" ground clearance. I wish I had lots of techie plans for you, but to be a chicken mom/dad you need not be able to build. We thought all the online stores had stunning coops, albeit for a lots of $. As an alternative, we found a local guy who built us a...
