Charming Chicken Cottage

Excellent coop building article! Article included blueprints, floorplans, a walk-through of the process, things that were changed from the original plan, and more. Article also included an update from a couple of years after it was originally built. This article was highly detailed with lots of pictures.

Thoroughly described and illustrated--great coop and run!

Love it. Luxury living for some very lucky hens

What a great chicken cottage! It’s really so much more then a coop. A lot of love went into it and I appreciate you sharing your experience with this forum. Thank you for all of the great information as well! I’m sure you’re chickens will be very happy!

Excellent coop & love your writing all about the building experience!
Thank you for sharing.

Amazing design and DETAILS galore! I think you thought of everything!

Lovely coop and run, lots of detail with good pictures, the movie and tips on tools too, excellent article. A very nice home for chickens!

What's the square footage of ventilation in the final build? I would think it's good with the open eaves and cap area.

I'm not an architect but I have had wind lift and topple a (heavy) run in progress, before sides were enclosed and the whole thing staked down. Which direction is the prevailing wind? The coop is probably too heavy but I worry the run might lift and pull, and neither appear tied to the ground.

Nice coop build!

It is nice to see a coop that you can stand up in too.

Excellent design and terrific documentation. You did your research thoroughly and made thoughtful decisions. Your brooder area is impressive.

Please keep it updated as it continues to evolve.

Excellent coop article detailing the build. Good photos and plans along with description of the build. Nicely done and a good coop to copy if you are building a real chicken palace.

Like the title says, charming! But it is closer to a mansion than a cottage!

The design is great and built for ultimate chicken comfort. Somebody did their research! The snuggle area is a great bonus!

The article is well detailed and illustrated. An enjoyable read.

Five stars!

Wow! Great detail!
