wanted to share my work with you guys. friend of mine addicted me with chickens. he has about 3 chicken coops with a bunch of chickens. he picked up 10x 1 month old chickens from a breeder on friday. and i will get 4 to start with....never had chickens before. they are about 5 inches tall. i told him i need some time to build a coop - he gonna take care of the lil chicks and i can pick them up when im ready. to keep the costs low i purchase 2x4s. cut off the rounded edges and ripped them in 1.5"x1.5" boards. i browsed the internet for chicken coop designs and went then into the garage with actually no plans. just a picture in my head. i kinda like building while i go. so i started off on saturday with cutting, screwing and glueing. finished on saturday with my first frame: in the evening after couple beer i thought about the design. yeah it will be big enough for 4 chickens but hey, were are in america - go big or go home, right?! sunday morning: i sliced it in half and made it bigger and couple more modifications. happy with the result:
