Alaska Noob Coop

This is my first time owning chickens and building anything. I had a hard time putting the window in. I couldn't figure it out. I may have to redo the window.


We will enjoy sitting on the deck and watching the chickens thru the window.

There is going to be a door and ladder to access the bottom run.

The bottom one is going to be the nests.

I will post more pics when it is done. Comments and suggestions are welcome.

How many chickens do you have?

As a fellow Alaskan, I can tell you to build it for the winter, not the summer. You need to get some insulation around it so they don't freeze in the winter. There are plenty of folks around here that have chickens, even in Anchorage there's a load. Make sure you have a way to clean it, they poo quite a bit.

That looks very small. What are you getting?

I have 4 chickens. I have been searching craigslist for insulation. They will also have a heat lamp.
