Just thought I'd share my chicken coop. This was on the property already and never really did anything with it as I have a large barn. Its 10x20 cememt floor and I think it was used for several dog kennels inside?? I dont really use the fenced in area other than to confine the chickens when I mow or just need to confine them.

A chicken coop is "never" really clean!!!

I have the frost free fawcett working now and its sooooo nice to have power and water to the coop

These are some of the dog houses they built inside the building. I use them for brooders or a place to confine a chicken. I have 23 6 week olds in there and they are growing like weeds.

love it
especially love the 'grow-out' cages you built in
very nice
 
Love the grow out cage... Totally going to put that in my coop when its finished. I have 5 little ones that will be using it. Hopefully 7 if the last 2 hatch
 
Thanks you all, I do like my coop and feel blessed to have had it on my property. I have the brooder light also wired to the cage so it cant get knocked down. I am hoping that when I get ready to intergrate the flock it will maybe be easier because they have seen each other this whole time. I often find the big birds sitting by the brooder lamp remembering their "chick days"???
