thinking of making this coop for my mom next mothers day

[Lilmanroster]

I used a program to make a model of this coop it is not all the way done but i could not find any poultry/chicken wire textures to use and i havent thought of how to show the feeders and waterers but you could imagine were the would be.

front

back

both sides

Looks awesome - I love that you made the nestboxes on the outside to maximise floor space! It's looking good! Now to get your dad on board for building another coop.........

Looks like you're already on the right track with the design. I would suggest buying all the material at once, that way you don't get too crazy from the start and run out of money.

If you have any questions when you start building don't hesitate to ask. With the amount of people on here, i'm sure someone will have an answer.

BTW your mom is lucky to have such a nice young man.

i would start building today if i had the money to buy the materials.

i was able to modify my model to have the nest boxes hollow and with dividers.

also i added a roof here are pictures of it from the side and back

the blue cylinders are waterers and the tan are feeders.

That's a lot of nest boxes. How many chickens does she have?

 

[Lilmanroster]

She doesn't have enough to completely fill the coop she already has but by the time i save up enough cash to buy the supplies (hopefully around the time mothers day comes around again) she will have to many

to sleep on the roosts in her coop comfortably.

I have taken lots of time designing this 3d model but it is worth it. this morning i showed her a walk through of the model with the camera set at her eye height and she said the ceiling was to high

but i made it high enough to make me feel comfortable. (I'm a 6ft and around 220lb linemen in American football, i play 8th grade I'm only 13

)

i imagine some of you that have looked at this 3d model would like to know how i did it...

i used a simple program you can download for free. the program is made by google so there is no spy ware or viruses.


here is a link to the page were you can download.

googlescetchup7 is free but you have to pay to download pro

i hope if you download it that it helps you design your own coop.

to finish the 3d coop i only have to add some details. so i started working on a tractor and this is what i have so far.

this is the front.
