Poll: How was your coop built?

[Devyn Nagy]

I was curious how most people get their coops, so I made a poll!

Built from scratch. The plans were only in my head.

We started small, with an old wire reel.

As our flock grew, we built a bigger coop.

This worked out for quite a while, until chicken math kicked in. Then we started using what we could to add on to it. I did a post, don’t know how to link to it, but it’s the hillbilly condo of chicken coops.

Then added more, never been good at math.

We are going to replace it all with one large coop somewhere down the line. Move the ladies into a penthouse. Maybe keep the hillbilly condo to contain the roosters.

The math looks good to me.

I added another choice for your case.

We have:
Built from scratch (our own plans *aka no plans*)
Built from scratch (BYC plans)
Shed Renovation.

I chose "planned and built it myself" and "other." Substitute "Hubby planned and built it."

 

[IdyllwildAcres]

Planned and built the first one, converted a A-frame intended as a tiny house for the next one.

I started with a small tsc coop that I attached to a old 12 x 12 dog kennel. I now have a purpose built building that took all summer to build. Planning started around the first of the year and I started on it in late april, birds were moved in around middle of september. Heres the “now” and “then” pictures. Also here is the link to my new coop build: https://www.flickr.com/gp/154582078@N03/50n2n0KkDR

I bought a prebuilt shed, that has some coop things built in. That I'm also in the process of making into a better coop and putting in a dividing wall to make it half coop half storage.
