NOTE: If you're one of those modest types and want to add your coop to the site but don't want to enter the contest, that is fine. We'd still love to have your pictures posted as a BYC article!

Wow, that looks great!

Thank you! It’s not perfect but it does the job! Plus, it’s always satisfying when you accomplish building something lol!

Our coop is "Homebuilt" So it doesn't have a link... do we need a link for the contest? I might just post anyway.
Thanks.

Homebuilt is exactly what we're looking for! To enter the contest you need to create an article.

Things to include in your article:

1. Start with a finished coop/run picture at the top of your article.
2. A write-up of how you built your coop/run. Include any information you think would be helpful to other people who may want to build something similar.
3. If you have them, include designs & plans you used to build your coop/run.
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.

To increase your chances of winning the contest, make sure it has as many of the elements above, in as much detail as possible! Here are some additional hints to help you win the contest:

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.
