Hello,
I've created a page on BackyardChickens as a thanks for the coop designs I found and the many many pictures I reviewed in the hours before attempting to build a chicken coop for my daughter's Sunday surprise delivery of 6 little chicks. You can find it here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=54203
I hope you will add it to your 'coop designs' pages and gallery images as this site brings continued inspiration for our project... and to what seems to be a healthy community of enthusiasts.
As a child, I raised chickens. I had several kinds over the years of my youth, even one that literally lived with me when I was about 6 or 7 years old. Chicken raising ending for me in my teens with a coop on this very property. 30 years later, the property remained, the old coop long buried as the landscape changed and a new house was built. In an ironic circle; my daughter brought home the chicks and without association the new coop we built is placed nearly in the same spot I raised chickens so many years ago.
Included in the small box were the six chicks my daughter selected. There are 3 white Leghorn pullet and 3 R.I. Reds...but one of them is weird. It's not brown, nor developing as quickly as the other 2. It's white with brown, looking rather funny as it feathers out.
I found the site while searching for "Chicken Coop Plans" and closed all other pages once I found it, bookmarked it and had about 50 pages tabbed in my browser to review with family and friends before building.
My other hobbies, lol... are suitable to building a chicken coop from salvaged materials. I enjoy residential home improvement, including historic restoration and contemporary home design. I particularly like dogs but our home includes a cat, 100's of fish in a thriving community of underwater plants and now Chickens. I do like growing trees and have many babies! - which I'll have to figure out what to do with someday.
I'll be visiting the forum occasionally. Thought I'd give some thanks now and lead you to my 'page' https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=54203 so you can check out how helpful this site has been.
