My wife and kids came home with 6 baby chicks and told me I needed to build or buy a chicken coop. After researching the pre-built coops I decided to attempt to build one. Having never built anything, I did not have a lot of faith that it would come out very good. Thanks to this site I was able to finish the coop, and hope the chickens will be happy. Since I am a software guy, I had to make it a smart coop. It has automation to calculate the sunrise/sunset to get the length of the day to generate an offset to turn the light on early to get the 15 hours. The light comes on gradually so it does not startle the birds awake. Sensors on all the doors also can interact with the light. Cameras to check in on the chickens and cameras to monitor for predators. Wanted an automatic chicken door, but they are crazy expensive. Still not sure I have the ventilation right, but will monitor the temp and humidity to see how it goes.

Beautiful coops!
Our little coop! We are expanding the run and Turing the side of our house to a large chicken run, but keeping the little house we built. We have 5 bantams that get to live there.
