My chicken and duck coops/run...I’d love to see yours!

[Jennyfromtheblok]

I’m always fascinated by seeing everyone’s set up for their chickens and ducks. And love seeing how talented people are building it all.
I took the fastest easiest approach and didn’t build mine from scratch. I’m not that talented. I bought premade coops and producers pride poultry pens because they have a hawk proof top. I also secured the ground around each coop and run with a predator proof skirt so nothing can dig under. I also use one of my enclosed horse barn (I no longer have horses) stalls to house my chicks for now. I’d love to see what your coops look like.

OOOOOHHHH!!!!! I want to get one of those little bridges for my ladies!!!
I know, it'll get crapped on, but it's just too cute to resist!

Also, where did you get your pens/runs?

They do poop on the bridge sometimes but it’s a quick spray with the hose and it comes off. I got the runs from tractor supply.

Had translate "RUNS". My first thought was "how do you get "the runs" from a TC store?"

I fingered it out!

We started with an old trailer, 4x8. I decided I "needed" more chicks, so we added on to the coop. I need to add on to the run, but the chicks are still in the brooder inside. That might wait until the coop moves to its summer location by the garden.

That creativity is fantastic. It looks amazing
