Very impressive! I am currently undertaking a similar project of turning an old unused shed into a coop. Im sure moving all that stuff out and finding new spots for it was a pain. I know it was tough on me and I only had 1/10 of the stuff that was in yours. You have beautiful happy healthy-looking birds! Im sure they love this Chicken Palace. Definitely provides me some motivation 💪

I was totally engrossed with the flock tales!!! I laughed at Fabio's adventures and am currently observing my coop with a bit of a harsh eye :) Very cool coop!

Thank you for the review. The old boy is still running the flock.
What a good article detailing every part of the coop build, as well as some humor added in there for fun. All in all a great read.

Glad you enjoyed the read!
Awesome! Mine is similar but built completely from the ground up, Wish Id of seen this before my build, I would have done a few things your way. May still change a few things with mine next spring when its nice enough to work outside again.
If I had to pick one coop and run to copy from what I've seen on BYC, it would be this one.

Excellent article with helpful description and pictures.

Thanks for the review, Tricia!
Excellent build & article covering it! Great attention to detail. Plus I laughed out loud when the inspector flogged you 🤣. I love your coop & run, I'm sure your chickens do too.

Thanks for the review. I'm glad Fabio's antics made you laugh. He's a mostly good boy now.
This was such an amazing read, particularly for a newbie looking for ideas about how to add that extra oomph to a new coop! Love the framing and site prep details.

Thank you. I hope you design and build the coop of your dreams!
Loved every step. Good work! You should report the OSHA guy. 🤣

I have reported him! He just keeps up with the attitude.
Wow! This is just awesome! I read through the whole thing, and like... this is the dream coop of any person! Nice construction skills, doors, cameras, EVERYTHING!!!

Gott share this to people building their own coops!

This article is very in-depth about the construction of the coop, which is helpful for people who are hoping to build their own. This is by far my favorite coop in terms of beauty and functionality. Well done.

Thank you so much for the kind review!
Wonderful well written well thought out article of a practical and good looking coop. I have converted half of an existing building to end up with a coop of the same dimensions as yours and have referenced your article multiple times for ideas and practical considerations. Thank you for a awesome coop build article!

Thank you for taking the time to read and write a review! The work was all mine though. My poor DH is no longer able to do construction with me. He did help hoist the beams into place though.
Love it!
I love how detailed this article is. A lot of thought obviously went into your plans. You turned a rotten, rundown shack into a beautiful coop and run. Bravo!

Thank you for the review and I'm very glad it will be of use to you during your build! Good luck.
Very helpful article that helped build my coop too. Some of the things they added into the coop were things i never thought of. And using an already standing structure was smart
