Great use of an existing structure to make a lovely coop. I especially enjoyed the updates of what worked and didn't work.

Excellent and thoughtful design. I like the way the pictures take you through the building process. I also like the way you show how the coop and your burgeoning chicken keeping practices have evolved and changed the coop.

5 stars Brother looks like you got the MACGYVER GENE!

I hope to have a big, beautiful coop like this one day

Wonderfully written article! This could be my dream coop!

Extreme detail using both words and pictures is very helpful to anyone wanting to use to the ideas here. The design is focused on functional use and safety from predators, but looks great too! And the fact the author of article did almost all the work/build by herself is very impressive.

This is the gold standard for documenting a shed conversion and keeping it updated as it evolves.

Creative and innovative approach to modifying a building for a coop and adding a substantial run.

Fantastic coop and run! Enjoyed reading your story!

Fun to read and see your coop project. It was very explanatory and has great pictures showing how you put it all together and how the chicken's are enjoying it!

Self locking door...I must have one!

It's funny how I get to see others take their 'space' & eco-climate-mechanical awareness to fit as closely together as possible. And this isn't just for chickens. For pets, themselves, & their homes too. Utilitarian-ism 'leveled up' a la 20d thinking.

Saw the new article you wrote on the baffles, and saw the link to your coop page. Lot's a great ideas as I'm looking to expand. Particularly like how you've partitioned off a separate area for brooding, see / no touch area. Love it!

Your reuse of something old for something new is great. Wish I had the time and energy to do the same. But my 12hours days right now don't give me enough time.

Super cool protection for the birds!

Wow, you worked hard! Your coop looks flawless, you planned for months! We went fast and have a few problems with ours. I hope you enjoy it!

Well done. I'm getting ready to covert half of my shed. I will consider some of your ideas while I go.

Well done! Looks great, secure and functional. I may steal a few ideas like the self locking pop door and dutch door (for my run entrance).
