This Lancaster Coop is the most popular coop I sell to my customers because it looks good in every way with all its little features. It comes with a clean out drawer, the perches, 3x5 chicken run, metal roofing, paint, 2x2 framing, hand made windows, and easy access from the rear. Even though it...
The finished coop and run. After six weekends of work it's finally done! This is our new chicken coop and run. We used cedar siding and cedar shingles for the roof. We made the run (aka 'The Sunroom') into a semi-greenhouse so it stays dry (we live in rainy Seattle). On hot summer days we plan...
We acquired a Little Tykes Playhouse from our neighbors to convert to a chicken coop. It's a work in progress and our chicks can't wait to get out of their temporary home. We also need to thank Hen House Rocks for the inspiration! This project took us longer than we anticipated, but the...

The Horse Barn Chicken Coop was designed to match our horse stable. I couldn't find a design, let alone plans, for what I wanted, so I gave DH my idea & desired dimensions, and he planned & built it out of a mixture of leftover & purchased materials. It has lots of light to help the hens lay...
This was inspired by our last Central American trip in which one of the prevaling memories was of nonstop chicken and rooster sounds. You've got your bright color, your tin roof, and spartan design. The inside has a roosting perch and three nesting boxes with a removable top to access them. The...
After researching Chicken Keeping on BackYardChickens.com, we decided to build an urban chicken coop and have some backyard chickens of our own in our average size urban backyard. We live in a chicken friendly area and decided to remodel an attached garden shed into a chicken coop. My DH is...
After 3 years of our Playhouse Coop - we embarked on a quest for enlarging our flock to include bantams. Knowing that we didn't want the little girls to get mercilessly picked on by the big girls - we decided to construct a smaller Bantam Coop in which to house the "not-so-big" girls.
Here is...
This is a Queengoddess one-of-a-kind chicken tractor! I drew the design myself and my husband went to work building it. I love, love, LOVE how well it turned out. It is 6 feet long and 3 feet wide. The chicken "run" area is 4 feet tall. I have a nesting box area that sticks out the back (you can...

I was going to sell my kids playhouse but then saw pictures of others who had used these as a hen house. Thus began the journey of owning city chickens!
I am a woman who only wants to know how to use a power drill, and hammer. So I needed to call on my dad (my husband wanted nothing to do...
Back when my daughter was six or seven she happened to go to the farmers supply with me. It was spring and they guys up at the Co-op had the ducks and chicks out for sale. Of course EVERY 6 year old thinks that baby ducks and chicks are adorable and so it has been a tradition for years to go...
Here is my first attempt at designing and building a chicken coop. It was originally for 5 or 6 hens but should handle up to 8 comfortably. I wasn't sure what I wanted when I started because I have never had chickens before. We live in a country neighborhood on almost 3 acres, so I knew that I...
After hours upon hours of searching BYC coop designs, I found myself constantly going back to the Wichita Coop and all of its followers. That design was the most aesthetically pleasing to me and seemed to fit the functionality that I was after. I, like many others, slightly modified their plans...
The mostly finished coop and run. I initially made all kinds of plans and drawings of how I wanted to build this coop and as it turns out I didn't follow any of them. I took a lot of advice from this website. I let the yard decide how big to build it. It had to fit between various trees...
I have transformed an old swing set into a coop for my meat chickens. The frame is enclosed by chicken wire, and the whole pen will be within an electric fenced area to keep predators out. The tarp will be placed over the top and the whole side facing the picture. It is almost 8 feet square, and...
This is about 4x7 ft. It is on slides so they can move it around the yard. It has 4 egg boxes that can be acessed from the back, and one side opens up all the way so you can clean it out.
