Very pretty. You should enter it in the coop contest... Oh wait no you should'nt, cause then I will lose...

Just teasing I love the look and the functionality of it...

Strong Work yfchoice!
What are the dimensions for your coop? And, funny, your chicks look EXACTLY like mine do!

You have 4, right? Can you tell them apart easily? With my 12 running around, I sometimes can't tell which is which. I bought 50 leg bands that go on pretty easy. It helps tons on telling who's who. I can give you a couple if you want.

Maybe next weekend you can come up and I'll show you my coop and your ladies' sisters...

WOW, very nice

That turned out very nicely! Way to go! Is it from one of those plans you buy? If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost to build? I build coops for added income and find that my tractors run around $240 in supplies before all is said and done. It would be interesting to me to compare, as this is a much larger structure.

Thanks for sharing!

Marty......the entire thing is 10' x 6'. It's really easy to tell the girls apart, but then I only have 4. When I had 6, it wasn't too difficult. I don't know about having 12.

Gee, I wonder why they look like yours...an hour or two difference and you might be looking at mine and vice versa....hahaha. For everyone else.....we picked up our chickens from the same breeder about 1 hour difference on the same day....we might've passed on the road.

PM me and I'll give you my phone # and maybe we can do a mini-chickenstock.....hahaha again.

kristenm1975......this coop almost cost 4 figures but not quite. Probably between $700-$800. My son had no problems spending my money. But I had sold a road bicycle and the money was earmarked for the coop....so no worries.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

Very cool design - do you keep the nest boxes closed until they start to lay eggs???
