I didn't have plans. I just have a husband. 😂 The luxury kitchen and bath manager for a large remodeling company. He built my coop and Chicken run from a model home they used to use at the home show showing their siding and windows available. And an old greenhouse frame. There were no plans. He just kind of built it on the fly. Then I took off because they bought me tools adding perches and toys and ramps. I'll be happy to add my pictures. But I'm not savvy enough to say anything about how it was built. And there are probably many mistakes some of which I have fixed along the way but I'm sure there are still many that people could point out.

Rough cut lumber coop

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

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

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...

Pallet CoopMagedon

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...

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...

Coop using old shed!

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...
