The Community Coop [Pictures]

[Kdizzle]

My neighbors and my family have been building a coop that sits in between our yards.

We finished the coop yesterday and today we brought home our first four girls.

We built the run using and old dog run.

The roof will have a living roof with vines growing from sold on top and flowing down.

You can see by my copied feeder design found here on backyard chickens!

These are the four new ladies!

I will be back here for questions and getting to know everyone. If you have any suggestions or comments let me have them!

Nice coop! What are the bricks going to be used for on top of the roof?

very nice =]. I like the idea of allowing vines to grow through. I was thinking of putting grape vines grow on our fencing, but I don't want to compromise the strength. Beautiful coop, and the girls look happy. =] Like the feeder btw. I should construct something like that....

Thank you,

We plan to chicken wire them down in the roof and then put a light mix of soil and grow vines to create an organic roof.

I saw two coyotes this morning, hanging around.
