This is our coop which is under construction. And that's me up in the rafters.
The footprint is 8 x 12 with a 4 x 8 entry area for storage and quarantine if needed. The four nest boxes will be on the outside of the coop to the left, where the blue bucket is in this picture. The roosts will be at the end closest to you in this photo with a roll out poop board underneath. The run, which is to the right of the coop in this picture will be 25 x 25 and covered with welded wire to predator proof it. There is also a garden and compost area that runs in an upside down "L" along the outer edges of the run which the chickens will have access to for foraging and to help turn my compost pile. It is broken up into three sections and I will rotate the garden into a different section each year after the chickens have readied it for me. I plan to post lots more pictures when we're done which will hopefully be in two weeks for my birthday!

Well here goes, MY NEW CHICKEN COOP , WOOP WOOP !!

I finished it 3 days ago and to my amazement got my first egg today !




I am thinking of drilling some vent holes with hardware mesh wire over them but where should I
put holes on this coop . The thought of my birdies sweating to death at night torments me. The windows are
wide open and only Lulu, the skinny one, can make it under the roof inside the coop. The other two sleep in the nesting cubbies.
How about I drill four holes into the nesting box back and sides cover them with mesh wire ?

If it were me, I would put in a vent on the same wall as the pop up door, but up high. That way it is enclosed, and protected from the rain and snow. But, that is just me.

In the spring my coop will get a window box for flowers in front of the window and some landscaping.  My thee hens free range for a hour each day. 

Love this coop. Did you get your design from a source? Or is it your own?
