    New chicken coop is finished!

    All, I have been a long-time lurker on the site, and have learned a ton from all the different posts. I just finished my new chicken coop and am pretty excited about it. It was a lot more work than I expected, but I think it paid off. The girls move in tomorrow…

    Learning as I go...take 3 coop/run 2021

    What began as an empty nester's Mothers Day gift from my three adult children has turned into the most expensive yet peaceful time I've had since coming to know God! While the cute little pre-fab coops seemed perfect for a small backyard and had all of the cuts and measurements already done...

    Work in progress but love it!

    Man oh man have I daydreamed about my coop for months! The main portion of the coop is complete except some painting and trim! It’s a large 8x8 so we can get plenty more if we want ☺️ I still have more pictures to take now that the door is also on. Next is the flyway. The inside is at least done...

    My Carolina Coop

    Last year I contacted Carolina Coops to see if they would sell me plans for their coop. Understandably, they declined. So I decided to build my version of their coop. I still spent way too much money on the coop, but it should outlive me with proper maintenance. The entire structure is 12’ wide...

    Added a new coop next to my existing shed. 4x6 coop with a 6x16 run including the space under the coop. Hopefully the ladies like the upgrade from the brooder.

    melamine layered wood bad

    We are building a new duck coop. There is melamine covered plywood that would work well for the floor. Is melamine toxic to ducks?

    Building a new coop and run

    It has come to my attention that my coop and run are smaller than they should be, so I am renovating. I am looking for cheaper ways to build my own coop, ideas, and tips. Thank you sooo much in advance. My girls will be happier.

    Predator proofing

    I am building my first chicken coop and am trying to decide to put the wire inside the wood horizontally or vertically our outside horizontally or vertically. I live in a high predator area so aesthetically inside would look better but want to get max protection. What are you thoughts?
