I like seeing other folks chicken coops and runs. And talking to them about what they have done to stop the varmints from getting their chickens it helps others that are new to the site and myself as well new ideas are always interesting. And changes to existing coops to make them better can only help.

I have yet to build a large coop or run to date. However, I have been gathering the stuff to do so for some time now . I only have one rooster currently and have found four hens thet I will add to the flock as soon as I build the coop . some things take time and help around here is slow.

Any coop built by any ones own hands should never be made fun of . coops are designed for the up-keep of the chickens in the area or state of the person that has them the open air design is used in many Hot Climate States as well as Cold Climate States . I talk to other folks in other states that have used them for years and their chickens do very well in open air coops. Doll house coops are cute and functional but are for the person and neighbor needs more then the chicken’s needs .

* don’t get me wrong if we all could build them we would have little cute cottages in our back yards with names of our chickens on the doors of the houses I am sure. LOL
