How to build a chicken coop

2011-07-11T16:18:00.000-07:00

Well, I finally built a coop. It doesn't have all of the finishing touches on it but if I waited to post pictures until then you may be old and dead. So here are step by step photos of how I did it.

Chicken entrance to nesting boxes.

View to the inside.

Door frame.

Where the door will go.

Close up of how I cut the 2x4 to fit for nesting box.

A look inside nesting box base before we close it up.

The nesting box bustle.

Divider.

Boxes with divider in place.

Siding on boxes and roof trusses from the side.

Putting the siding on.

I moved it before I put the roof on. It would have been entirely too heavy. I may post pics with the roof and paint and the door attached but, don't hold your breath. Sorry I forgot to take pictures of the base.

I'm new to the blogging world so forgive me for my lack of interesting post. However I am glad I visited my own blog today. These pictures give me such comfort knowing that this long winter will soon end and I will again be busy enjoying the outdoors. Funny how easy it is to forget the beauty that exists when everything is grey and seemingly dead. I hope my friends will stay with me on my journey into cyberspace journaling and help me along the way.

This is one of the hens in the dirty nesting box.

Here are two of my ladies enjoying their run.
