Ok finally got coop 4 to load, it is in the background with the bachelor pad on the left. This coop we finished May 2014, it is our layer coop. A good portion of the interior is repurposed material, but we had to purchase the treated wood for the base, the T11 siding
Wow. That's a LOT of work and SO nice! What do they do when it snows? Boy, I get budget! We've been in a drought now for 6 years ant this winter they are predicting torrential rain and flooding till late spring. I have no shelter on the back of my barn stalls, so no dry run for chickens. They'll be fine inside, but no sun for months? Scrimping and scrounging.
Can you save the water somehow? Big stock tank? Or are you in one of those places where catching rainwater is illegal?
Hi Camping thanks for the compliments on the coops. I'm sure I could save rainwater, but having to keep a stock tank thawed in our winters is not something I want to try. Hubby did install a water faucet on the back of the house that won't freeze. I'll be able to use that until the snow gets too deep. Where the faucet is is a L shape & fills with lots of snow & its where I have to shovel snow off of 2 roofs. Then I have to start carrying water pails from the basement.

Thanks everyone for all the compliments on our coops. They are my pride & joy, I am very, very blessed to have such a talented hubby & one with a lot of connections (free material).
