Chicken coop

We have decided to finally build our own chicken coop and get some laying hens. We have had chickens before but they haven't been kept at our home. We have many recycled materials to use which helped keep our cost minimal.

 We had some pre assembled wall pieces that we screwed together and placed on cinder blocks as our base for the co-op.

 We constructed the walls on the ground then lifted them into place. We went with a lean-to style to help with snow in the winter.

 On the south side of the coop we built in 3 large windows for plenty of sun light all year round.

 The 2×4's and screws are the only materials we had to buy.

 We had started this project late in the fall only got the metal roof on right before the snow fell for the winter.

 Yay spring!! So excited to finally finish our chicken coop. We decided to and a side window we had found so we could see into the coop from our driveway. As we also have a business at our home and customers love to look in at the chickens when they are not out in the yard.

 Sticking with a rustic feel and free siding boards, I wanted something cute to see when I go out to feed the girls.

 Before we put the siding around the windows we decided to paint to avoid any spills, that always seem to happen when painting.

 Yay, happy chicks!

 Fun colored tires for dusting boxes. Also a very nice ramp my son helped build.

 A few decorations and a classic door, this coop is coming along nicely.

 On the opposite side from the door we left a side partially unsided. This will be where we will be building on a rabbit hutch in the future.

 We also started some turkey chicks with the chickens before moving them out to a different pen.

 all spring after we got are chickens into their coop we would spend time sitting in our lawn chairs watching them grow. We have been so blessed to be in a spot to raise animals.
