What does your coop look like/ coop ideas?

[Tdub4chiks]

Here's my coop in the process of being completed. Still need to finish the inside. I just love picture of outhouses. lol

Still need to finish painting but we are enjoying the ease of use we designed into it. Poop boards, Egg access, Concrete Pad, Every side is either a door or completely removable.

I'm totally enjoying this thread! I LOVE to see other people's coops and set-ups!
Here's ours as it is today (we had to add the corrugated roof b/c raccoons were trying to get in through the previous plastic sheeting & netting roof. We trapped 5 of 'em!):

It has been through more than an few permutations in the past year we got it:

The sparkling clean inside that was never to be again:

This was the second revision of the run (I think there have been four or five):

Winterizing:

Droppings pit on left. Didn't work out at all, so we replaced it with a droppings board after raising the roosts.

View of the droppings board:

Nesting boxes on right. Automatic pop door opener (priceless!):

View from the back of the coop and run (the playhouse/swingset in the background WILL BE a coop when my kids grow out of it!):

We added a north and south facing window this summer b/c it was brutally hot while our broody insisted on hatching eggs in it:

South facing window:

The little nursery we set up under the droppings board for our new mama and two Silver Spangled Hamburg chicks:

Gratuitous cute chick pic:

It looks like a little zoo enclosure!! I love it.

Sorry, but mine is almost as big as my own house.....

backside-total of 4 breeding pens (closest) 4'x10' and two main parts that are 10'x10' with a middle section for feed storage.
The door handles for the breeding pens are insulators for electrical lines from WAY back in the old days. The windows used to prop open on the wood you see under neather the windows. We have since changed that, now they just are removable.

One small dutch bantam coop attached as well, 4'x6'

inside of a breeding pen (with divider for breeding silkies)

run side of the building
each breeding pen has bricks in door way 2 bricks deep and cemented in, to prevent digging predators. Most of the building foundation has been cemented as predators try to dig under. The coop is actually 2 ft off the ground to prevent flooding.

2"x4" welded wire sides and door, with flap over opening so hubby can get his fat hand through to unlatch the snap clip lock to reach to closure. we were going to leave the hole open, but were afraid of critters getting int hrough the hole.

Corrugated metal sides prevent fighting between birds in neighboring pens, and all corrugated metal is buried 2 ft into ground, with steel rods along length of building as well as chicken wire.

Front of coop- all pens have flight netting - much better than chicken wire with our snow loads some years.

Chicken chute, prevents wind draft from coming into the building. we did not do this to the breeding pens as of yet.

chute can be opened to train birds how to go in and out without fear for a while.

Entire building was build with used materials, except for the flight netting and welded wire.
