Did you build your own coop/s?

[XilverAngel]

we built ours, its very nice and doesnt take up too much room, i wish my dad had more wood though, because now that we want more chickens the coop might not be big enough,

I built my coop. Well, I'm building my coop.

 

[chicks4kids]

I started building "something" that was going to be a playhouse for the kids, then I went to the grocery store for the basics...milk, bread, and eggs. 2 dozen eggs at $2.89 a dozen for their version of "cage free".

I went home with my almost 6 dollar eggs and decided to make the playhouse into a chicken coop!!

It was one of the best decisions...everyone loves them and all of the chickens love everybody!!

I bought a Royal outdoor shed, unassembled, in a box and brought it home to build the foundation with 2 x 4, rubber mat and assembled the shed in pieces. So it is either way so I replied NO on the poll.

Built a 10x12 coragated (sp) greenhouse, turned that into a catch all, then into a chicken house, recovered it with T1-11, girls love it and thats all that matters!

I built a shed for the goats from an old garage door, and new scrap from a construction site down the street (they built about 8 homes on 5 acres, and tossed sheets of nice 6x8' 1/2" plywood with one corner chipped from being dropped), then converted it for chickens and added old barnwood and fence pickets for a little insulation and panache

Oh and DH put corrugated metal roof on for me.

The new 'quarantine coop' is 5.5x8' sections of stock panels tied together with baling twine and roofed with fiberglass roof panels (also tied on with baling twine.. great stuff). Side insulation is plywood and a large kiddie pool. I can't wait to get them into the main coop; DS and I keep poking ourselves on the panels or the roof.
The new goat house was built by a great guy on his way thru town who needed some vegi oil to run his van (I use it for my car and had a surplus) so we traded.

I had the materials but not the tools, knowhow and gitupandgo...and round tuit.
