Show off your coops!

Our coop is 100% recycled materials and only cost us 50 bucks in total so far! Still needs a few tweaks to the coop (back wall needs to be replaced with sturdy wood, laying boxes need to be made to hang off back wall, gang plank needs rungs) and to the pen (a hoop will be added to the roof along with a tarp, a swinging door will be made) but other than that it's done and we only spent 50 bucks on both the coop and the pen.

"Finished" it yesterday and the girls spent their first night out side last night! They have light, electricity for heat or a fan, they will have window's soon, and as an added bonus the floor's come out in two pieces for easy cleaning! under the floor is chicken wire too.

Coop and run last year after it was newly constructed....

The Bedroom

They have a fenced pasture area connected to the coop and run that they normally have the run of, and sometimes are also let out of there to roam as well.

Quote:
It's actually their feeder. It holds about 15-20lbs of feed, was extremely inexspensive (about $15), it keeps them from billing all their food out thus less waste, and it works like a charm. I've seen bigger ones but was concerned with the feed going bad. I fill this one about every week and a half.

Very cool. What is in the metal feeder attached to the side of your run?
