DREAM coop & run

[Angel07]

Don't have pictures but my dream coop is pretty much the ones I've got now. When dad got chooks he built pens for all the different breeds. Now some of those pens have been taken out but I still remember them so I'll build them myself either here if I'm allowed or I'll build them when I get my own property. The runs were just pellets and the sheds were tin. It worked really well so I'm hoping I can have them again. If I was to build more I'd make them bigger to fit more chooks in though because chicken maths is real. I do wish dad never gave up breeding chooks though. He had my dream life but wasn't making enough money for a living so had to go back to work and I was too young to do everything myself then.

Wish list is a timber frame barn for a coop with a timber framed, double fenced garden. The double fence to be both a deer fence and a chicken tunnels. The chicken tunnels to lead to a fenced orchard and to a fenced pasture as well as gardens and fields. The tunnels planted with chicken snacking and shade among the purposes.

The picture is from an image search; it is the general style in my dreams.

alternatively: espaliered fruit and/or laid hedge fences and/or live willow fences for some of the fences or fence posts.

I forgot, round timbers rather than the squared timbers shown. They are stronger as well as less work for me if I use my own trees.

a craftsman from carolina coops is my dream set up.

once we terrace the yard to take care of a big slope on our property, i’ll be in contact with them to have one built on the lower level.

Any idea where I can get similar plans?

Converted garden shed into a coop. Insulated and nesting boxes. New roof on run. Just have some finishing touches to complete in both.
