My dream-come-true! Our new resin shed coop.

its a great option for people like us who never build things. the idea of building an entire shed/coop was absolutely daunting, and this saved tons of stress.

What an awesome coop! That was a great idea! I may have to watch for one of those to go on sale!!!

we decided to ground it because thats what the instructions said was best. Also i was slightly worried that if we had crazy wind it would just go under it and lift it up. We will see how this works out, i think its light enough to still move and raise if we decide thats a better choice down the line.

yep we will put in a lockable doggy door this week! Luckily the weather is nice enough to just leave the big door open for the next few days.

like how i stole your feeder idea?

LOL I noticed that! Great money saving idea that one is! You might want to attach something to the lid to keep them from roosting on there. Otherwise they will get poop in their feed and the lid will be a gross mess the next time you go to fill the feeder. Being extremely cheap, and caring not at all about aesthetics, we used an old milk jug and taped it to the lid (being careful to get the tape snugly into the inner grooves so the lid would still close). Hey it works!!!

Love it, Aubrey!

Now whats going to happen with the old coop? More chickens? Or maybe some call ducks??

thanks for the idea sunny! will do! this feeder cost us 8 dollars as opposed to feeders of the same size being close to 40!
