Ended Official BYC Coop Page Contest #12

I also want to mention the fellow entries:

There were some incredible coops and articles in this year's contest! I can see how the judges had a tough decision ahead of them. I really enjoyed all of the great photos and writing. It is so evident the tremendous time, care, and consideration that has gone into your coops... They are undoubtedly going to continue to amaze and inspire others for years to come!

I'd love to highlight my very first coop- The Burrow! This will be a long, picture heavy article. The Burrow was inspired by the Wichita Cabin Coop and the Chick Inn. Photos of the rough plans are posted at the bottom of the article in case it helps anyone! First, a VERY cautionary tale, and...

(2022-3-4) Update/Clarification: Since many people have pointed-out a size 'problem' with this coop, it is worth strongly emphasizing that this coop is designed to be placed within a giant, 9x9m (~30x30ft), 81m² (~900ft²)(!), predator-proof pen, -far more 'round-the-clock space per bird/rabbit...
