that is sooooo nice, and I like the round yard. Makes me wonder if I made my coop big enough, hate to say it cause my hubby made it. Karen

VALMOM.........That is a beautiful home your chickens have.

VALMOM - all of our chickens should live this good! Gorgeous!

Thanks, all

The yard is about 30 feet across- we built it so they could be "outside" in case we didn't have the comfort level required for free range. This summer we actually did try to let the free- they LOVED it. But, a couple of weeks ago something got one of the girls- we were devastated. We think it was a fox, since the local dogs who run also live with their own chickens and leave them alone. So now the girls (and boys) don't go outside their yard. I feel bad for them, but we only have 8 chickens and don't want to lose any more.

My kids call this an okiefied coop......."ghetto"coop.......after seeing all those beautiful coops....I guess I agree......mine was free so it looks beautiful to me

Free is good! But we had to get set up in a hurry, so it cost us. We had been planning on building a coop ourselves and getting babies next spring, but, well, these just fell into our laps.

VALMOM....I emailed your web site, but forgot to ask where you bought your chickens house? I live near you and wondered in case i was ever able to get something like that. We have a nice one my husband built but decided it would have been hardly any more to buy one

That is another beautiful coop!!! I do not have a "real" chicken coop that I can stand up in and when I see these gorgeous coops I wish I did. Very nice.
And Okie it is ok because my chickens live in ghetto coops too....lol

Our complete construction diary for the original 8x8 plus the 8x12 addition are featured here-there are several pages: https://www.backyardchickens.com/coops/clutch-hutch/index.php

This is the newest one, the Ameraucana coop, built mostly free from construction site debris:

is that coop crooked like it looks, or is it on a hill?

BTW, I love your coop, okie!
