I am currently building a square foot chicken coop for my four red sex linked laying hens...I wanted something that looked nice and would help my girls be as comfortable as possible...I found a great idea for a design for the Urban Garden Project...The plan calls for a 4'x4' square foot chicken coop that can be used to help fertilize 4'x4' square foot garden bed...The design is made to fit directly on top of the garden bed and is lightweight so it can be rotated from one bed to another...You can see a basic outline of the design at http://urbangardenproject.wordpress.com/2009/03/25/building-a-square-foot-gardening-chicken-coop/
Here is the backside of the coop with the chicken wire and framing complete:
Here is the side view of the coop with the chicken wire and framing complete:
Here is the front view of the coop with the chicken wire and framing complete:
Here is the front view with the fiberglass paneling the will be placed as the roof in place:
Tomorrow I will place the door on the bottom run portion of the coop, placing the walls around the enclosed portion of the coop, adding a nesting box, and painting the coop...
Hopefully there will be more pics to follow...Let me know what you think!
