I started this site to showcase other spiffy chicken coops
people have made and pimped out.


I am just getting chickens for the first time...
some Gold Laced Wyandotte chicks.


The ChickenCam! Is up and running...
ChickenCam




These are the baby chicks that are now just about 1 week old


This is the coop i'm building for them


My dad gettin' ready to tie down the supplies


plywood-foam-plywood glue sandwiches


The base is treated 1/2" plywood with treated bracing and post lumber


These are the nesting boxes for inside the coop


The major portions cut out


The door for the chickens to get in and out


Test fitting of the pieces


See how the corners overlap


Overkill for a chicken coop, but it was on clearance and available
plus I figured if I am going to insulate the whole coop I may as well
have a better window than a piece of plexi


Test fit in the wall with frame


Roof "trusses"


A little trim and caulking to cover up the seams and add strength


Roof trusses screwed in


My wife Colleen helping paint the coop


Oooh it's coming together now.. plywood on the roof


This roofing seems to be a type of asphalt based material
It's not tin and it's not that plastic paneling either.
But I like that red roof :) It attaches with screws or nails with neoprene washers.


Just about done, a little trim to go and some
more painting to do.

Next up I need to build the run...
