Coop is DONE...Run is DONE! Let me know what you think??

[stux2c]

We have finally finished our coop/run. I was lucky enough to find th ecoop for sale, and I made my revisions to it. The Brown shed with the star was already there. the coop is next to it.

I tore out 6 nesting boxes, put in three roosts, and then built the run next to it from the ground up. Built it from the plans in my head...let m eknow what you think. Our 10 birds love it, and are sooo happy not to be stuck inside the coop.

Building Raised Garden Beds to the side of Coop/Run

Gate I built to enter Run

the sort of finished Coop/Run

I have painted the front to match the vinyl siding on the other sides of the coop, and I have put translucent plastic roof on the run. We also layed a yard and a half of construction sand int he run as well. Our girls love it, and hang out outside all day.

That looks marvelous! I like the way the inside nest boxes are set up. And it looks great on the outside too. Those are some lucky chickens!

Looks good Stu. Hey, is that a big nesting box on the side of your house? Maybe a love nest

Looks good an sturdy.


Is there a gap at the top and bottom of your run door. you may want to fill that in with Hardware cloth, Cats, Dogs, and other critters can get in and get your chickens. Do you hooks have a spring closure?
