Your coop design looks very similar to the one we bought from Cedar Grove Products in Lancaster, PA.

We got ours painted to match our farmhouse. It's due to be delivered in a week or so. We'll house 9 chickens in the coop and plan to surround the ENTIRE coop in the run - which will be like 10' x 18'.

We'll post pictures of the completed project once it arrives and we build the run.

Update , I finished the roof and I moved the chicks in on friday they are doing great and seemed to love having more room , I will be building the run in the next week or 2 . I will post pictures when it's done . I really want to thank everyone who posted pictures of there coop they gave me a lot of ideas like the sliding window .


Thank you everyone for your comments .

BEAUTIMUS! That's EXACTLY what I want to build! What are you planning to house in there? I was thinking 1 roo & 2 or 3 hens (banties)....

Do you mind telling me about what it cost to construct? If not, no big deal--but you can PM me.

Thank you, GREAT JOB!

Thanks ,
I have 5 chicks

. I think I have spent around $ 175.00 so far . The run should cost me about $ 100.00 more it's going to be 6 feet long 4 feet wide and 6 feet tall .

Thank you. Okay....that's about what I was figuring--$200 or so...

I'd like to get a row of those (like 4-6) of them to house banties in....

Thanks again! And keep us updated with photos!

I was looking at the last picture and my BF walked by and looked at the computer and said "but how do they get in"

I just laughed and said I don't think the door has been cut yet.

What do you mean my chickens can walk though walls can't your .

I have about a week long until the last of 5 will be fully feathered .
