Ugly coop contest (hehe)

Here is mine - everything except the chicken wire and hardware cloth are recycled from either my Dad's old dog pen or the house we tore down. I changed plans during construction so many times I thought I'd never finish. I ended up with 3 inside spaces all the same size - 2 large runs straight out and one smaller run at the back corner.

Sorry this one is sideways, I forgot to turn and photobucket is soooo slow for me lately.

This one was a little overcrowded at first because it was finished first - better now.

My ugly coop in the first steps of beautification - I've already had hubby replace the missing boards, now it needs a paint job and another pen built on the left side for the Silkies!

Hahaha!!! I love the pink one! There is a WWII Cary Grant / Tony Curtis movie from the 60's where they had to mix red and white lead paint to paint their sub - it ended up being
the same color! It was called "Operation Petticoat"
 
I think I'm going to win this one!

I plan to cover the gap with something, just haven't figured out what yet. Other than that, my 100% free, made from scraps coop:



Even the paint is scrap from when we painted something else. I repurposed a doghouse that had both the floor and one wall chewed apart, a rabbit coop that had been moved so many times it was literally falling apart, pieces I didn't need from my parrot's cage, some old 2x4's my dad removed from his fence to replace, an end table that had been sitting in the garage for 2 years, a stool that had literally never been used, and some posts we used to anchor a tree.
I didn't spend one cent.... and it shows! LOL
