My Carolina Coop

[Chickendoodle352]

Last year I contacted Carolina Coops to see if they would sell me plans for their coop. Understandably, they declined. So I decided to build my version of their coop. I still spent way too much money on the coop, but it should outlive me with proper maintenance.

The entire structure is 12’ wide by 36’ long (coop is 12’x6’ and the run is 12’x30’). It has 3 12’ roost bars and two 5’ undivided egg hutches. I walled off the areaView attachment 2619979View attachment 2619980View attachment 2619981View attachment 2619982View attachment 2619983View attachment 2619984View attachment 2619985View attachment 2619986 underneath the coop to use for new additions and birds that need isolation.

It was a fun project that still needs a few trim details and a little more paint.

Twenty five Barred Rocks and Eater Eggers (and one EE rooster) enjoy free ranging in the little stand of trees around the coop.

You did a great job!!

That is a great setup; well thought out and super attractive! Spoiled little chickens! Just like mine.

That is amazing!! Great job. I like the rope covered perched.

 

[Gramaden]

Awesome job! I did the same and mine does not look as nice as yours but will do for our 12 chicks once old enough. They really do a great job with their designs at Carolina coops and after building my own I think theirs are underpriced!!

Love the underneath area for the separated birds! I'm getting ready to upgrade my run and may have to borrow this idea...!

If I had it to do over again, I would move those doors to the outside. It's a bit a pain crawling under the steps.
