So I've finally got things the way i am dreaming of. Starting with finally getting measurements of my weird shaped yard. This is going to be an open air concept coop with a garden and a "chicken moat

You can see my idea for the moat. I have trouble moving and bending so having raised beds on tables is going to be the easiest thing for me. But i still wanted to give the chickens the opportunity to help me lolz so there's going to be a ramp that goes up the 3 feet to the tunnels which are raised the full 3ft

This pic has my idea for roll out nest boxes with a catch box. Will more than likely be a diy when it comes to pass lolz
 
This is great you can do that! I can't quite picture the whole thing but I'm sure with your planning you'll get 'er down. Don't forget to account for some ventilation in there. We have a coop forum under the Articles tab above if you need anymore ideas.

We all wish everyone would plan ahead like this. So many get the chicks and have no coop thinking they have a lot of time to build one, then suddenly their chicks are grown.

Haha well until i have the money this is all i can really do. But when it comes to my animals i make sure to do research and planning beforehand, especially if its something i never owned before like chickens. I did it with ever species of fish and gecko ive owned and even for different breeds of dogs and cats ive owned. Lolz i like to know what im getting into
 
The idea sounds interesting, but I'm having trouble deciphering what's going on in your renderings and figuring out where this "chicken moat" is vs planter beds vs coop space - can you explain or label things to clarify? With the mentioned mobility issues, how are you going to fabricate this project?
