Okay, I've got everyone here so far beat by a long shot! Here's my coop:

I was brainstorming with my dad this past winter about how we could come up with a cheap but adequate coop. He looked out the window at this old horse trailer (previously used to store firewood) and said "Hey, I've got an idea." It was free. In fact, my mom almost offered to pay me to get that rusty piece of junk (not her exact words, but this is a family board) out her yard. The nest boxes were cabinet frames salvaged from a shop fire. Everything we used to turn it into a coop was just scap stuff we found laying around. I did scrape all the rust and paint the inside - hopefully someday soon I'll get around to doing the outside too. We turned the dressing room area in the front into a feed/storage area, and also added a door to the nest boxes on that side.

It's parked in the back yard, hidden behind the pole barn, and surrounded by electric poultry netting. It aint pretty, but the chickens seem to like it just fine.

Well, I'd love to have some of these 'ugly' coops!

I'll work on getting a photo of mine on here. It looks like an outhouse. In fact, that's what I call it... The out house coop.
