post your chicken coop pictures here!

It is winter here now (as you can tell), but it usually don't get too cold and don't really get a lot of snow. We got a picture off the internet on other chicken coops and we just started building based off of the picture. We have wire screens for windows but I have the one in the front closed so it would help keep the wind out for now

I've started building again. This is going to be a little raised hutch for a brooder, or a single brooding hen or isolation, or whatever I need it for. Again, I'm working with pallets, some scrap wood and a bit of new wood I bought on Christmas eve.
I want to get this, a new coop and a new run done by Spring. I work as the weather allows, right now it's only 22F degrees outside. I want slanted roofs in the hopes of catching some rain water. And with the slanted roof I shouldn't have problems with built up snow. I'm not going by any special plans, just my own imagination.

I like that, it really looks good. You were lucky to get pallets in such good condition. Congrats on a job well done. I like your pretty chickens too.

Thank you. Yeah we did luck in on the pallets, we get them about every two weeks or so and all are usually in this good of condition. There are so many things you can build with them. Ty for complimenting my coop/run and chickens We just got them last night.

It was 29F degrees this morning, but I got some more framing done. I had to re-charge my firestorm battery again.

I had a drill motor with a removable chuck like that, I loved it! Batteries finally died, wouldn't recharge anymore. Don't think they make them anymore.

. Your coop looks a lot like ours, except we fully enclosed ours in a run. It works great and our girls are quite happy. .

This is still a work in progress. I'll do more tomorrow.



I got more framing done and put in a roost. I had to remove some of the braces, do some cutting and re-install differently. I need to do some more shopping for hardware cloth, L brackets, hinges and who knows what else before I can finish this little hutch.
