We define the "best article" to mean pages with the most information, pictures, plans, details, etc. that will be very helpful to others who want to build a coop and/or run. We don't care if your coop was made out of recycled pallets and was made in 2 days, or if it was made out of the highest-grade materials, took 5 months, and is a scale model of the Taj Mahal. We want helpful and informative coop articles!

Prizes:
  • First Place: The winner will receive a $100 Gift Certificate for the BYC Store or two 1-year PFMs!!
  • Second Place: (at least 2) will get a $50 Gift Certificate for the BYC Store or 1 year PFM!
  • Third Place: (at least 2) will get a $20 Gift Certificate for the BYC Store or 6 months PFM!
Things to include in your page:
  1. Start with a finished coop/run picture at the top of your page

  4. Pictures of your coop/run as it was being constructed.
  5. Pictures of your completed coop/run.
  6. A list of things you want to change or add to your coop/run.
  7. Additional information about what you learned, what you'd do differently the next time, and any other tips for potential coop builders.

1. Follow the format of some of the existing chicken coops.
2. The more details and pictures the better!
3. Plans plans plans. Very few coop designs have plans available. If you post plans (rough or detailed) of your coop you'll get bonus points for sure!
4. Pictures - We all love lots of big beautiful and helpful pictures!
5. Remember, this is a contest for the most helpful coop build page and not the best looking coop.

This is still a work in progress but I just thought I would add this one. This was a debilitated wooden playhouse that my neice and nephew grew out of and my sister was going to throw it away.I figured I could bring it back to life.
Almost done,just need to wrap chicken wire on the run and paint the front door.
Hope y'all enjoy!
