this is the coop I am building.

any input would be appreciated. I am using pvc to make auto feeder and waterer. I am using cups on the waterer.
Thanks!

What a beautiful coop! How many chickens do you plan to keep?

Give some pitch to the roof so, water will run off. Looks like it will be a good design - you can probably trick it out to meet your needs.

I am a fan of coops with enclosed runs. Here in the 'burbs you can't really free range chickens, unless you want unhappy neighbors and oppressive ordinances against chickens! I also don't want to push any limits, so I only let the chickens roam when I'm around. The birds will appreciate an outdoor space that provides protection and fresh air. The design looks good. My coop is very similar, but probably four feet wider. These are amish style, and they're surprisingly easy to clean and aesthetically appealing. I really like how mine turned out. Best of luck with yours!
