I am one to think outside the box and since I live in a limited fixed income I am always looking for cheap but sturdy ideas. That's why my first coop, when I had 1 rescue chicken was made of an old solid wood cabinet. It was 2ft × 3ft and it worked great for her. This year I enlarged my flock...

Rough cut lumber coop

All lumber used from an old 1993 woodmizer sawmill except 4ft treated in the ground. 1st step was putting posts in the ground. I leveled and squared the posts. Decided on a 32ft by 12ft footprint with posts 8ft apart. Used a string level to set the posts and laser level to trim the tops of...

Raptor Chickens Coop Build

First of all, every thing I know, which is miniscule is from this site. I am NOT an expert of anything chicken related. That being said I have many years as a general carpenter and for the last 5 work in a custom wood mill. So I'm not a novice. However this was a rushed "slap together" deal...

Garden shed / chicken coop

We purchased a 12x20' garden shed from an Amish builder in Wisconsin. They hauled it out here. They set it where we had already had a level base of sand and several inches of pea gravel. We built a wall 5 feet from the right with a door to separate the coop from the garden shed and...

Quackingham Palace....... Last year my brothers built me a new duck house, and covered pen. I helped some when they needed some extra help but they did most of it. We were able to cut the expenses a little with using supplies that are around the house like… old 2x4s, windows, doors, plywood...

Flat Pack Coop Takedown and Appraisal.

This article is about a flatpack coop taken to bits after almost a decade of use. Lots of people buy these flatpack coops and the model I’m going to write about is a popular style option in the UK, made by various companies. It’s a generic style and most look identical from the outside, while...

Coop using old shed!

Hello everyone, This is my primary coop. I repurposed this old shed, fixed MANY issues with it. This little barn has been in existence for many years. I cut a hole in the back of it, and custom welded a beautiful run. I also custom made nesting boxes, as well as roosts from 2x4 lumber. I...

Coop idea using arrow building and custom made run!

Hello everyone, This is my new(er) coop. I can use it for ducks, chickens, turkeys, or whatever bird I have on the farm. This is an arrow shed. I leveled a place with the tractor, brought in dozens of loads of dirt to level where the building sits. I made a frame and poured 50+ bags of...
