My Carolina Coop

[gtb66]

Good work!

I drew up the plans for my coop article by going out with a tape measure and measuring everything then transferring it all to graph paper.

Of course I forgot things. I was measuring the nest box sides by flashlight the day I was determined to finish the drawings.

That was very generous of you to take the time to draw out plans for the build.

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.

Love it!

Thank you. I wanted to help people who don't have the handyman skills to just wing it make something they could feel confident about.
