My Recycled Swingset A-Frame

[goldtopper]

12' long, about half is elevated coop, other half is hardware-clother run. I put flashing on top where the siding comes together, left those ends open for vents and hardware clothed them too. Hanging nipple waterers and feeders inside and out. Pop door and guillotine style door on front, huge nest box in back with 3 stalls. The north side is hinged for total access. The base wood foundation is aproned with 18" of hardware cloth.
I have 3 golden-laced wyandottes and 1 black austrolorpe that love each other and are 10 weeks. It was les than 2 day before they were "trained" where to sleep, eat, drink and when to go to bed.
What a wonderful thing I have in my backyard!

Let there be cake!! Birdseed, oat cake!

My son loves them too!

That looks pretty neat!!! I wish I had more of an imagination when it comes to building stuff. My father actually made a coop/run out of trampoline frames. He got 2 for free, and welded the legs to each other and kept the trampoline mat for the top as a shade.

I made a cake from 1 cup lightly ground oats and wheatberries, 4 mashed hotdog buns, a 1/4 cup of cornmeal, a cup of BOSS mixed with millet and dried mealworms and 3/4 cup water. I mixed it, plopped it into a pan and baked it at 225f for 2 hours.
