Here is a pic of the coop I just finished.. My plan is to build a big run on the left side.. My 3 chicks are only 4 weeks old and haven't seen the coop yet ..

I tried a search on how to have a page with my coop and run and this showed up so I will post a few pics here and if anyone can point me in the direction of how to have my coop have its own page (here's the catch) using my iPad, I'd appreciate it. Got many great ideas from the coop pages and this list and after 3 weeks of living with my new coop and new to me - 4 laying hens, I'm very happy with my design. Overall dimensions are 5 x 11 feet. Enclosed coop area 5 x 5. Built on a sloped area. Minimum ht under coop is 2 ft. The boards along the bottom, are all level even if it doesn't look it.
Here's a close up from another angle.
And here's one of the inside after my girls have been using it for two weeks. Of course I do scoop the PDZ daily.
My first go at a chicken coop, with a small (9 foot by 4 foot) exterior run. It still needs a few things, and its basic, but with limited funds I was able to re-cycle an old shed using wood I had laying around. It was also a quick build, a friend dropped off 11 chicks and I needed to get something built for them to go into.
