ENDED - Coop Contest Late Summer 2009 - Win $20 Gift Cert

[SandyRiverChick]

This one is not going to win any particular prize, but it was SO FUN, my chickens love it, and if anything it takes the cake for NO COST HOUSING! Could be helpful to anyone converting a dog house to a small hen house....

Thanks!

Must it be a chicken coop? Or are duck houses etc allowed too? Some of the other fowl houses are very nice.

OK, here goes... This coop was started back in March and still isn't done, but I wanted to get my BYC page started. I'll keep updating as we continue to work on it.

Hey Monk,

Very Nice Coop design and construction. What kind of cost are you looking at?

Somewhere between $400-$450 for me, a lot of the materials were left over from other projects(rigid insulation tar paper, electical items, and misc lumber), scrounged at the dump(treated 2x6 and 4x4 pieces) and recycled from old coop(nesting boxes, run roof sheathing, and latch for run door).

That first egg is expensive. Years of enjoyment, priceless!

"They are awfully cute to watch while drinking coffee!"
Did anyone else read this line and at first believe they were feeding their chickens coffee??? A caffeinated chicken would be very interesting to watch.
