Pictures of my coop.

[Big Ska Farm]

I built this coop myself 2 years ago. It's a modified version of an Ana White designed coop. I neet to add a gutter under the roof edge on the nesting box side so rain doesn't rot the wood next to the nesting box. I've got seven in my flock, I don't think I will grow the flock and bigger. I'd have concerns that the coop is not big enough for more birds as space wouuld be tight when they are all inside due to weather. It's built like a tank! It took eight men to move it into place!

That is awesome!

If you wanted to, and have a few more build pictures, blueprints, etc., and could write up how you built it, you could post it in the Coops forum, plus there's a contest you could enter it in when done.

Here is a link to the Ana White coop. I think it is easy to see where I departed from her design. I did a few other things differently but this gives folks a good start. I have all the reciepts for the coop build. I never totalled it up, I did not want to get depressed! https://www.ana-white.com/woodworki...n-coop-planter-clean-out-tray-and-nesting-box

Love the planter but our chickens would have that destroyed.
They already almost did destroy one huge planter on the south side of our home. It's got evergreen bushes on each end and rose bushes in the middle. They leave the rosebushes alone, but literally killed one evergreen until hubby put this tarpaper like stuff down and covered it with landscaping nuggets. Then we got the brilliant idea of putting a frame around a nearby maple tree and fill that with dirt. They like that too, but won't abandon the flower bed.
