Rural Gardening: Pictures of the coop I built and my chickens, 0 by Light_for_Jesus

What I like about it, is it has a box for them to be in at night and be safe and warm, and it also has the small run to get out in during the day if I need to go out of town and keep them locked up. The bottom has the 1/2 inch hardware cloth and nothing can get in.. I hope. Usually I have a blue tarp over the top since I never did put the roof on it. The plywood I put on the top should have been the thicker kind. This one has started to warp, and the wire is not fastened good, hence the brick. :) The tarp covers all that up.

I have eleven hens here and all seems to be going okay for them.

Since silkies like to be close to the ground it is sufficient. Other chickens probably need a high place to roost.
