Show off your diy coop!

Looking good with recycled lumber.

Add a large overhang on the front to keep rain out of the nest box.

In addition to reading Art's ventilation thread, I also noticed you always suggesting large overhangs. So I scraped my original roof idea mid build and modified it to have decent overhangs. I've been pretty impressed so far with it keeping everything dry. Thanks.

I know it's not a coop, but it may be a run someday. This aviary is for my Coturnix quail. Its footprint is 6x8, 7ft tall in the front and 6ft in the back. I've added everything but the hardware cloth skirt (and the birds). Should be finished by the end of the week.

2x4s, plywood and hardware clothe were new but the rest is recycled material. Spent money on the coop tender door though and a carpenter because of recent health issues making it difficult for me to complete on my own.

Is Jurassic Park your favorite movie?

Is Jurassic Park your favorite movie?

Haha. Nope. I talked with the carpenter helping me about a few lines and going up to about five or six feet. I came back a few hours later and he had gone to town. The hens are well protected!
