As I have only got a small garden I have gone for a coop that will fit into the corner giving the ladies shelter from the wind and the sun. I have two Isa Warrens called Maggie and Rosie who do seem to like their accommodation (well apart from a lot of clucking that is!

Size DOES matter!

This is what I started with, way too small for 6 ex-battys....

Thankfully my Dad stepped in and the run grew!

I think they like it...

And I have a perfect view!

the deed is done, theyre penned , they now have an area approx 20 ft by 16 ft, inside the pen is a fully secure run and coop with nest box which is 12 ft by 6 ft, they will be in there until i finish work, then they can go into the big run when im out there, also there is an extra little run behind the shed approx 12 x 3ft, mind you little Lacey, the bantam, just stepped through the trellis, ive blocked it off now, but it was funny,
Image

theyre are 5 chooks under this old coop dustbathing, i reckon theyre planning an escape
Image

this is the area to the side of the original coop and run, if you look to the rear left the little door leads to the extra run around and behind the shed,
Image

all i need now is some russian vine and a few hanging baskets, oh and about 60 metres of new turf :-D

The run turned out a bit bigger than I thought it was going to be, so I've lost the use of my washing line (I'll get another one!), but I thought I'd leave that one up in the hope that the lines might scare off the buzzards.

I'm very new to this but thought I'd share some pictures of my chicken house. Here goes...Image
Image

As you can see, I reduced our shed by a third, added a pop hole, replaced the glass windows with a fine mesh and built a fixed run to the front. It's been a while and the whole area is a lot greener now!

Second Coop in the Red Barn

Post by LynneP »

April 19, 2011 marks the completion of our second coop in our red barn. On Friday, our first Australorp will arrive, a rooster from Hidden Meadow Farm. We're pleased with this coop since we learned a lot from our first efforts. The coop is brighter than the first one and has a covered run and ample platorm space for roosting and delivery of water and feed. David has outcone himself, and when a hen arrives with chicks in early May we will have our first Australorp flock, complete with a layer coop and room to manage birds easily.
I'm very excited and looking for tips on rooster management.

2 weeks ago we completed the move - just across the garden a bit:

They started here, the CSI house - see the crime tape?
Image

When the house moved there was a small heap of overwintering
Image

But that soon disappeared
Image

Wonder where it went? Over the fence...
Image

They got a good spring clean
