Here is our coop!

I have been wanting chickens for a longgggg time! Hubby was not working at the time (because of rain!) so he decided to build one out of a box/storage trailer.
The inside walls stripped.

The Left side with window

The right side with window

All window in with a clean floor.

Hubby got this flooring from a resale shop for cheap.

Door and chicken door in.

Chicken door open.

Nesting boxes from a frame of a water bed drawers. To use the drawers or not is the question?

Here she is in her spot. Need to clean with a brush and paint.

I just loved how it turned out!

Now is the question what size chickens!?!
Cost:
Trailer free
The walls and flooring was about 200.
We had all of the trim boards, roosting stuff and waterbed frame-drawers.

Sorry its 12 x 8 got that from the hubby tonight.

Heck of a good idea! One suggestion is more ventilation, sorry but that looks like it would be a oven in the summer sun

If you look real close on the last picture it has a 14" turbine on the top. Where its siting its getting the sunlight from the east, then the trees give it shade for the rest of the day. I will watch for the heat in the coop though.
