Wow! Ours looks almost exactly like yours!! Maybe a little bit bigger but not much. I'll have to take some pics of it. I wasn't going to b/c it's not painted cute like yours.

We even had wheels like yours on the sides and our tractor is about the same size!

Great coop, LovinMyChickies! I want to post my coop (and will as soon as it's finished) but I have a few things left to do before it's done. I've got to get it done asap too because those jumbo cornish X rock mutants are taking over my basement.

This has got to be the dumbest question, but how did you secure the branches/roosts to the walls? I've got plenty of oak limbs, and our building motto has been "fast, cheap, and easy." So far the coop and hen house has cost us less than $400 and we're trying to keep it that way .

With screws and baling wire. And alot of patience.

mipsy6, I love the green roof! Such a "cool" idea!

Thanks! My husband wants to put one of our house, so this was kind of a mini-test-run.

Wow some really great pics on this thread!

So does acttual chicken wire keep out predators like raccoons?
I am very nervous about only useing chciken wire, and feel as if I need to add on another type of wire as a secondary barrier.
Does anyone have suggestions?
