Simple Inspiration

[TashaFrancois]

Simply post pictures of your diy coops. Then tell us who lives there. Maybe even a fun fact.

Four pullets live in this one: Zinnia (BR), Poppy (BO), Aster (B Brahma), Iris (Standard Cochin).

Fun fact: Much of this coop is made from a fence someone drove through while fleeing from the sheriff.

Other fun fact: I built this all by myself during the hottest week of the year (100+ days) because I planned very poorly.

This is my 6x8 coop with cattle panel run. Shopping carefully at a construction materials reclamation place I got the siding new but with damaged corners for $7 a sheet. This was built in 2 days as housing for a neglected group of birds my DH agreed to take on. All but one are now deceased. This coop now houses 3 giant cochin, 2 bantam cochin and a barnevelder.


Ahhh the big house. This was made largely with reclaimed materials. It is 8'x14' and houses 20 large breed chickens.
The tall side and the short side are made from reclaimed shipping crates. The metal roofing and tinted windows (tinted lexan only) came from a commercial manufacturing facility. The fence is chain link reused from a long section I switched to privacy.

The big coop was built to replace 2 smaller coops that were not fitting my needs.

A few of my pretty ladies.




Fun fact?????

I should have built these to begin with! Oh the headaches I could have avoided and the money I could have saved!
