This is awesome, John.

I have been to your part of the country. Gets very cold and windy. A great place for your birds!

Hey All!

I got this idea off the web site too!

I live in the small college city of Athens. I knew I could not have a Rooster, and I live alone.

This is the right size to have four hens. It is 6' by 8', and has a walk up and 4 nest boxes in side. I added several places for them to get out of the rain. The back side opens up to clean nest boxes and collect the eggs. I like the idea of the fresh eggs, and also as a gardener, I can use the litter and chicken droppings for fertilizer.

I also have an aviary, of Lady Gouldian Finches and Stafford Canariaes. It is below:

Happy Memorial Day, Everyone!

We'd love to enter. Here's our link: https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=58214

We got tons of ideas for our coop/enclosure from your site. Figured we'd 'give back' to the community by posting our own page. Thanks for the GREAT website.

Very very nice.

Could you tell me if the landscape timber you used are 4x4 (not 4x6)? Are these the $2 when on sale?

I am doing something similar and if I could use the landscape timber rather than 4x4, there is a cost difference.

TIA.

loubapache,

The timbers are actually 4 x 6, with the 4" side flat and the 6" side rounded. The reason I used them was that they were $1.97 at home depot. I hate shopping there, but for that price I couldn't pass it up. Hope this helps! The actual name for them is "Cherry Tones"
