So, this is new to me in creating a thread. Crap, I don't even know what a thread is! But haven't been on BYC for years since I built our first 2 coops 5+ years ago. However I do appreciate the 40,000 plus view and many of the sweet comments made about my original posts of my coop design photos...

Hi, Trying to be patient......Trying to understand it all.....Trying to learn by navigating the site......Soooo totally confusing to me. Don't like at all. Feel in an attempt to provide a bigger and better site too much simplicity was removed for those of us not quite as computer savvy as...

Wow!...why take something everyone who loves chickens has become use to and change it so dramatically? Understand the need for upgrade....more servers, more space, easier to upload...more bells and whistles...etc. Buttttttttttt, alot of our chicken family are so use to the easy format...got...

Hi, Just not feeling comfortable with new format. Can't find my page or my uploads. Seems like alot more work and confusing to navigate compared to old format. How does everyone else feel? Maybe it's just me and my old ways. Good luck to all. Erik

Hi, After building our new coop with external nest boxes I decided I wanted to keep drafts down from any cracks and crevices in the coop. When I built the boxes I made sure I left a 3/4" lip around the nest box opening for the door to close against, knowing that in time as we approached colder...

Ok, So today I had to act fast...lots to do before LSU and Alabama game tonight. Decided to suprise wifey witha front landing to coop and finally have a photo of construction site fence sections I got on Craigslist over a year ago for $10.00 a section. Used them to build run like I did for "Big...

Hi, Today I got alot acomplished in the rund area. Painted all of the run roof framing, installed the metal roof and built the gate and set up temporary chain link fence panels in the run area. The girls took their first steps outside today. Didn't get any photos of the run as it was getting...

Soooooo! The coop ( Bantam Bungalow) is finally done. What a fun project....can't wait to start another one ( just kidding )! Wife would kill me. Still have a few days of roofing, painting and run to build, but "The Coop is History". The rest will be easy compared to what I've done so...

Hey everyone, Just got finished doing alittle more today for those of you following our coop build. Not supposed to be doing anything 'cause of lower back issue but I just can't stop. So today I set two posts for shed roof on left side of coop facing the future run area. Then I framed up what...

Hey gang, Know there was a post awhile back with various metal sculptures folks got. We picked this up about an hour ago at local street fair for $30.00 , guy had them from 12" tall to 7' tall. Really cool. He will look better standing on the brick landing I'm gonna build in front of coop. Just...

Sooooo, After getting the copper rooster mounted on the roof today I decided to suprise the wife again with some more goodies for the coop. I had picked up a piece of chicken folk art at flea market several weeks ago and thought it would look cool on the door. Then I got the idea of putting the...

Ok, so I finally made a bracket and mounted the copper rooster on the roof today. Wife gonna kill me since Orthopaedic Surgeon I saw yesterday told me to rest for next few weeks. Got old man lower back issues. Oh well, can't just lay around. Here are a few pics of her rooster on the roof. Erik

Hi! Well despite my back hurting pretty bad, decided to try and get the pop door done today. It is made out of 1/8" aluminum installed in a track made from aluminum angles. It will be attached to an Add-A-Motor D20 and controlled by a timer. Two photos below show the outside trimmed with cedar...

Hello all, So for those of you asking to keep the pictures coming here is latest. Didn't get much done today...kinda having a little back issue, so I just put the partitions in the nest boxes. Then I installed the roost and a "roost" at front of nest boxes to help with entering. Also took...

So Guys and Gals, I need some advice. I remembered a friend had given me a copper rooster when I was building our first coop, but didn't feel the design would do the rooster justice. So, now that I am building a smaller second coop for Bantams, I went and dug the rooster out of my workshop. I...
