Quail_Antwerp: Words from the Barnyard...

[lorihadams]

Cool, I am thinking of getting some more chicks first of the year and we will have to get cracking on a bigger coop. We have the windows already and my hubby can get all the 2x4s he wants from work for free! We have some leftover tin from other projects so all we should need is a door and some wood for the outside!

Coop is DONE.

All we have left to do is the run. Got one post in. Hope to get the other 2 in and wire up this afternoon (long as the rain holds off).

Looks like the window needs washed. But other than that a VERY FINE job!

Of course the window needs washed. But it's too cold for me to worry about that!

That is a really nice door. The coop looks great!!!

That is a really nice door. The coop looks great!!!

The door is a recycled house door. BIL was remodeling his house, and he tossed out 3 solid wood doors off bedrooms. We snatched them up!

I have two more doors to use on future coops! Plus a lot of windows!! (Not camper windows, bigger windows that keljonma brought down.)

We plan to get some electrical wiring and run electric to the new coop. I want to hang a light in there.

Good job- your chickens are going be very happy with you.

Nice! I know you're glad it's finally done

Chad and I want to build something like "The Campbell Coop" on the large coop page on BYC.
