Beautiful coops on this page! Can't wait to finish mine and post photos.
I think it's really neat that some people build coops that add to their landscaping. We re-purposed an old wood shed - six posts with a roof. It made sense because there was a concrete slab under 1/3 of the roof, the roof was metal and solid, and the condition under which I could raise chickens was that it wouldn't cost too much, although we never quite quantified what too much is. Most of materials I used (except hardware, door and window) was recycled fencing and construction lumber. Door and window came from a salvage place. Not pretty, but functional and solid. I am glad I insulated it well - 2"x6" fir siding, 2" insulation and 1/2" plywood for the interior.
