Our Coop and Run
Well we originally planned to have 4-6 hens maximum. My hubby went looking for free coop plans and came across the plans from Purina. http://poultry.purinamills.com/NUTRITIONMANAGEMENT/HenHouseHutchDesign/default.aspx They looked simple enough so we decided to go for it. We...
so began our little coop redo.
The roof was leaky and just had to be fixed
So my new wonderful other half started fixing it for me.
All the wood was reused fron the old garden. The window was a miscut from lowes they gave me for FREEEEE!!! (gotta luv em)
I just LOVE how the redo turned out...
Suburban Mini Coop
Our third coop is a "mini coop" designed for quarantine, raising chicks, and any other needs that have since sprung up. It was originally designed to be broken down and moved by one or two people.

This is my recycled coop. The materials we used was either something we were no longer using any more(rabbit hutch), Left over chicken wire from another project, and the "coop" was from a neighbor up the road who was going to throw it out due to the dog chewed on it a little and the front...

Chicken coop of Ccshambhala
This is what we started with - after ripping away the old run & the front piece of plywood and fixing the back "wall" (the back wall is actually a shed - the original coop had gaps haphazardly patched - with gaping holes that led under the shed). The coop is approx...

Here are some pitures of our first coop that we started with three Goldenlaced Wyandottes.
Coop has a chain link fence as part of the run in the back. One side of the coop has a clean out door for easy cleaning.
