I built mine from a old dog house put a door on both sides of the dog house and I used a dog kennel for the run and put chicken fencing around the inside and top so they don't fly out it happened once when my brother did not put the babies chicks up at night 3 of them got out nd we could not find them we found 2 of them and a year later the hen got bullied by new chicks and we gave her to my aunt and she got out and there was a fox around so I lost my Favorite chicken who listens to me.

Most often it's the favorite birds that are taken by predators.

That's some great ventilation and roof overhangs. Looks great.

I use scrap materials, packing crates and pallets whenever I can. But I buy plywood and tin at a discount building supply store. I have lots of coops, built most myself and hubby helped me on the goat house and Turkey coop.

Here I used a trampoline frame for the run.

my dad was gonna use our trampoline to build a chicken coop because he has to separate the baby chicks when they are big and also he has to separate the Easter eggers from the others and the hens and rooster that we can't put any other hens with because they bullied my chicken snowflake so we had to give her to my aunt till he built the coop but she got out and they never found her and I am lost without her because she was my chicken and I loved her she was the perfect chicken for me
