After seeing the simplicity of you coop, I'm starting to think building a coop has become an overcomplicated art.

you just are killing me with that thud. lol Yes it is very simply and I just love it. Been trying to get hubby to lets purchase some of those cattle gates for our tomatoes each year. I thought it would really be cool to have like a fence made out of them and then tie the tomatoes to them to support them. PLUS the holes are large in the gate so one can reach through and get a mator. LOVE me some fresh tomatoes!

lol yeah me to on those eyes! Chills, Bee make sure to lay hands on that thing in case it has a demon and cast it out.

Bee your coop is awesome! GOOD JOB! I swept up pine straw and leaves all day long for the flower beds. Did get hubby to run to his brothers house which is next door and he gleaned some hay from his brother for our girls nest. They went to checking it out and I think they actually liked it because one got in and laid a soft shell egg. I'm wondering IF that was one of my Aussies because they aren't laying yet. They have oyster shell AND egg shells to don't know WHY it was soft. But the reason why I think it was an Aussie is I STILL have NOT clipped their toe nails and they are lonnnnng. She tore the egg I think when she tried to get out of the nest.

Wow Bee he def has every color in his feathers. Any guesses to his breed? from his size I would guess he was still young?

And I would have glowing red eyes to if someone wacked me in the head with a staff

maybe he came back and has nine lives.

This coop?  It took me 10 days and $205 and just one, unskilled fat woman to build it...that would be ME.    It has more zip ties than you could ever count..even the roosts are held on with zip ties.  This is about the most simple coop one could ever construct! 

That sounds pretty good for a coop. I've heard of many others that were much more expensive for less space. Zip ties definitely have a lot of uses. Two things though; how much of a snow load can it support? and does that plastic sheeting deteriorate at all due to the weather?

Y'all are a hoot!

I do wish I had the where withall to come and visit each and every one of you, just for the fun of it..wouldn't that be cool to drive around the country just visitin' with folks?

oh wouldn't it though! LOVE the idea of those ladies doing the trailers to. WHAT FUN!
