Rubbermaid coop assembled!

[prairiepearls]

DH helped me assemble the "Rubber Chicken Coop" (I figured it needed a name!) yesterday! Still need to cut to length the roost bar & put in the poop board, enclose the base in hardware cloth, make an enclosed ramp from the pop door, and build exterior nest boxes. But I'm just so excited to have the parts put together so I can see what it will really look like, that I had to share! If you're interested in any details, there are lots more pictures and descriptions on my BYC page!

Very cool!!

For someone who started off not even measuring the base, you did VERY well! That really is a neat coop!

Wow that is neat and creative.

When I first looked at the pic I thought it was a kit that you bought.
Not a rubbermaid storage shed. Great idea..

Very Nice!! At first before I looked at your page I thought rubbermade was making coops! I wanted one! LOL Job Well Done

 

[SeaHen]

Wow, very ingenious!

That's one of the best ideas I've ever seen on this forum... VERY CREATIVE!
Okay, ill-mannered or no, gotta ask. How much do you have in it so far?

That is totally cool! I have one of these rubber maid things in a slightly different configuration...I may just have to use it for a coop! Thanks so much for the great idea and pics!

Gotta catch up posting my receipts in Quicken & I'll be glad to let you know how much it's cost.

Thanks, guys! After all the work I put into it, adding vents and window & door, I was really nervous to put it together -- afraid it would look trashy. But I actually think it's cute, if I do say so myself!
