Some of the things I will built in the last year. We started with we are just going to get a couple of chickens for eggs and then.........well........you all know how it goes....lol All of our chickens free-range as much as possible....
The first coop and run is for our Silkies now. I just finished it last month The second tractor is for our Seramas (my favorite besides Bella, my naked-neck). The third tractor was for the Seramas but I just didnt like it that much and was to hard for me to get into.(I am 6'4" tall). It is for sale now...Hen Heaven is our big coop for the 7 egg-layers we have. It has a rainwater collection system on it with nipples as well as a Pullet-Shut solar door and a webcam in it. It works out well. The brooder I made last year before we got our egg layers and then I added the lower brooder section after I built my wine mini-fridge incubator so I can split up my hatches or keep different age groups in it. I also put a nipple watering system in the brooder using a long plastic flower box from home depot. It works really well and you would be surprised how young they can be and still figure out the nipples. I think I am done now, anyway that is what I told my wife.....lol

Still in the works and older pics, but this is a coop that I've designed and building using many re-purposed pieces - Windows, door, shutters, porch brackets. I'm building out the inside now and will continue outside when the weather finally breaks. First day of spring and today's high is 22˚ Hope to start the run in a few weeks - chicks arrive end of April.

The Bird House, that is absolutely gorgeous! I hope you'll share photos of the inside when it's finished.

Howdy folks.

Great houses and runs. I have several pics up on my profile. It is not yet done but I think it is only a weekend away.

That is the old one.

Here is the framing on the new one. Will post more photos as we progress.

Thank you, Stumpy - I'm having a lot of fun building it!

It is further along than these photos, but my camera broke. I hope to post more in the next few weeks - I should have most of the inside complete and can move outside again to finish siding and paint. Can't wait to put the birds in it!

Here is our home-made run:  (the attached coop is just a converted old shed)

That's the kind of coop I would love, unfortunately winters are too cool here
