Have you gotten your coop/run planned out yet?

If you have any interest, and have photos and plans/details of the coop you've built (or are going to build), there is a coop article contest going on right now! Here is a link:

Hi Meg. We do have a coop. Actually it appears to be a dog house, chicken coop/bunny hutch combo. It’s not in the greatest shape, though. While it looks like our log home, siding-wise, the rest of the materials were slapped together using makeshift materials. It’s not very safe at this point. We were able to get some 1” heavy duty hardware cloth from a local nursery going out of business. This weekend we are going to try and make it safe. It’s still a bit chilly for my chickens to be out. Can’t wait to get them out of the basement! They are bored.

Welcome to Backyard Chickens. Isn't rural Ohio a wonderful place? The best state in my biased opinion.
