So…how many more entries?

We have about 15 entries only, so we'll need at least another 15 before we can announce the deadline. Spring and chick(en) fever is fast approaching though, so we should have some coop building going on soon.

This is the first design on a coop i made in 3d. i have alot more elaborate ones this is just a teaser of how i design coops.

Um not to nit-pic, but how do they get off the ramp? It looks in the CAD (or whatever the program is called) like the ramp goes right up against the end of the run and right along the sides. Looks like it's right up against them.

That is not the run. that is only the coop portion. it is attached to the legs as a support for the frame. there is no run for this coop.
using the bottom of the ramp attached to the bottom of the legs allows the use of 1x1s in the frame. it gives the legs the added support for the roof that is above the ramp.
with this style of coop there would be a fenced in area around the entire coop.

Oh, sorry. <Red faced!> It sure looked like a run/coop set up to me, but I'm old and have bad eyes! Looks like the ramp leads up to the pop door which leads into the coop.

Anyway welcome to BYC! Glad to meet you!

Glad Blooie asked. Now that I see it I like It! Roof over ramp provides shade and some bit of weather protection, ramp provides support to roof supports. Got it! Chickens come out onto ramp, look around, decide if it's a good day to venture further.

Yes . Now i'm building it. the design eventually turned into the pic below. The door was not as wide as i had hoped so i had to add slats next to it. the roof was here when i moved in. and the metal frame so i used that as a basis to design it. I'll post some of my other ideas when I have time. I'm still building it but getting there.
