The "I'm not a carpenter but I'll build it anyway" Coop

This is the latest iteration of my chicken coop. It's 5'x8' (1.5m x 2.5m). It's located in NJ, where we get all four seasons rather intensely -- 95° (35C) and matching humidity in the summer, 0-20° (-10ish C) in the winter, and 40-50" (1m+) of rain annually. So, the coop needed to be able to accommodate a lot of different weather types. The run enclosure around it measures 20'x10' (6m x 3m).

I must begin by highlighting that the magnitude of this project took me by surprise. It turned out to be larger and more challenging than anticipated. However, if I managed to overcome it, I'm confident you can too. This undertaking had a dual purpose - in the event I decide to sell my house, the subsequent occupants will inherit a charming 8x8 clubhouse suitable for young girls and boys, unless they have an inclination towards raising chickens.

Strong, Safe, Low Maintenance Coop

This coop was inspired by the Wichita "cabin coop" found here on BYC. There were also other inspirations that added to the overall coop design. I wanted a low-maintenance coop so deep litter, a trough feeder, and a waterer was a must. The entire structure is made from pressure-treated lumber except for the plywood and a few roof rafters that I was able to recycle from a home project. all the lumber is attached with ceramic-coated decking screws...

The build started in February and was completed in June upon the arrival of 6 pullets- the maximum we are allowed in our town. A large amount of material was scavenged and repurposed keeping the costs lower but we estimate the overall build was probably 1500.00- quite a bit more than I had hoped. Still, the neighborhood is suburban, and the better the coop looks the more likely neighbors will be to accept it.

The Happy Hen House in the PNW

We had never built anything more complex than a garden bed. I researched all over to find the perfect coop for my dream flock of chickens. We live in the PNW tip of Oregon, our weather consists of rain, sidways rain, & occasionally rain on a sunny day. So we decided on an elevated coop with a covered run attached. We had a pre-existing potting shed/wood shed on the property and decided to make the coop the same width and height to match. And large enough to access for easy cleaning.

The Wanderbrook Coop

This coop is 8' x 8' with an attached 5' x 16' run and is the culmination of a year-long bliss project. The finished coop is what happens when you combine an artist with a math guy who has amazing retention for that one construction job he had in college. It is a mix of new and old/repurposed materials.

The Egg Plant

I started with an old shed that was being used mainly to throw stuff in that we didn’t know what else to do with. It contained a lot of building materials that I ultimately used to build this coop. After removing all contents of the shed and laying it all out, I checked the condition of the interior walls, ceiling, and doors. The only weakness was in the front doors and door frame. I removed the old doors and built a new door frame. I also cut windows in the back wall for light and ventilation..
