At the beginning of my venture into backyard chickens, because of the time factor, I was considering purchasing a pre-fabbed coop thingy. I asked a question about it in the forum, as well as, doing research online. Pros and cons of both. After many weeks, about 4 weeks total, this morning I moved my girls from their brooder confines to their new home. Made it all myself! I still have to set up the water system. Which I will do later today. But, I wanted to introduce them to their run, at the least. Most of this was made with pallets, and wood I obtained from a scrap wood pile at a construction site. Yes, they gave me permission. Said, "have at it". The roof, and most of the frame wood I purchased. Anyways, I built the feeder into the door based on the bird feeders I make. This is just a super-duper sized bird feeder. In fact, I need to trim the feeder tray down just a tad. The water will be from a 5 gallon bucket perched outside with PVC pipes running into the coop, and underneath using the water nipples. All gravity fed. I will post pics when I complete it. This coop came from just ideas I had in my head, along with ideas from here and YouTube. So, whaddya think??
