Over-the-top coops

[Mahlzeit]

My apologies if there's already a thread dedicated to this; I'm a relative noob, and I looked around and couldn't find one.

I'd like to see people's pictures of their extravagant or fanciful coops or runs.

We built our coop using leftover materials from the various home improvement projects, and I endure a lot of eye-rolling from my kids for the ridiculous nature of the inside of my chickenhouse.

I started out pondering what would be an easy-to-clean surface for the poop deck, and realized we had lots of leftover tile from the renovation of a kitchen and two baths, and TBH from that point it just got away from me.





I thought I was being a bit ridiculous until the guys across the street showed me the inside of their chickenhouse, which has--I kid you not--a crystal chandelier. Next time I'm over there I promise to take pictures.

Definitely the fanciest poop board I have seen!

I don't think mine is over the top but here it is anyway


The front with the lexan windows and gutter with leaf guard on. I have a motion sensor light that comes on when I am going to the coop so I do not slip and fall too.


I was still working on it in this one. I have added nest boxes and roosts of course. In this one I had not yet made the lexan windows.

There are 11 functioning windows on this little 8x14 beauty.

Great looking coop!

Over The Top (according to some) Coop from a predator proofing perspective:

'The Envelope' - 6 sides of 1/2" hardware cloth (yes, it's under the vinyl flooring too).
Shown freshly built here, details of build in 'My Coop'.
