Official BYC Poll: Where Did You Get Your Coop & Run From?

[CHlCKEN]

Converted shed into coop. Used salvaged windows, entry door and lots of scrap wood and left over materials from house flips.View attachment 2399758

Built entire run from scratch with all new lumber. I don't want to ever have to worry about building it again.

I have an Omelet chicken run. I worship the security and amazing size! It even fits 3 truck tires for dust baths without hardly loosing space! Im to embarrassed to post photos quite yet, but tomorrow I’ll be putting in the finishing touches! That means it will finally look reasonable (aside for the mass feather explosion from molting)

Bought a prefab, it wasn't great, and our one chicken wouldn't use it. New pullets like it though, but worried it was too small even just at night. Built new one from what we had around, first chicken moved right in, young ones refused, cobbled them together. Then we moved, dismantled what we could, everyone lived in little coop for 6 months, built big new coop with actual cover run space. New coop is 80 % new material 20% reused. Everyone is happy.

Bought plans online, modified them a bit and built with all new materials. Wow lumber is expensive! But I love the finished product.

I first bought a used Green Frog Designs large 'lodge' coop, and when I increased my flock I bought another, and then when it increased further I bought a third, another used one. Made from sturdy recycled agricultural plastic, they have smooth interior surfaces and few joints, so there is almost nowhere for mites to hide, and they are very easy to clean, move, or dismantle. And they are fox- and vermin-proof. They also hold their value very well, so most of the initial outlay can be recouped when necessary. But they are designed only to roost and lay in; there is no run at all. They are well suited where the chickens free range from dawn to dusk. Most of my chickens love them, but a few determined tree huggers would prefer to roost in the trees above if I let them (I don't anymore, after losing such birds to predators).

I have four coops, I use plastic sheds and convert them to coops.

Built 100% from scratch using a mix of new and salvaged materials.

My coop and run fall into the "Other" category as it is "Built 100% from scratch with both new and used materials."

IMHO this should have been an option within the list as I suspect that many folks do the same.
