They are just so basic with them. Regular square coop, nothing pretty and uses deep litter method of straw.

I want to go all out for them! Pretty pen and coop.

Nothing wrong with that! The DLM is great for the run.

Yes, there's tons of ideas for fancy beautiful coops here! Do you have chicks or chickens yet? You can also learn about some more natural and "non-traditional" ways to raise your chicks here as well.... here's a couple of my favorite links:
Mama Heating Pad
Pseudo Brooder Heater ‘Plate’

Best wishes starting your new chicken adventure!!

We bought 12 pullets last week. 4 brahmas, 4 buff orpington, and 4 australorps. My favorite is the brahmas though.
Thanks for posting those links. Going to check them out now.

We don't have everything set up yet. A friend of ours gave us a small building we are going to turn into the coop. In a few years i plan to have everything rebuilt. For now i have to just put something together because we are remodeling our house. Even though i plan to build new coop later, i will be making this one as cute as i possibly can!
