Chicken Coop

[First-light]

So I want to build a coop. My Daughters 2nd grade class incubates 8-10 eggs. They watch the progression. This year the farm that supplies the eggs said she can give the chicks to me. So with that info can you guys send me any picts you may have of your coops. Board and Batten siding, metal roof and an area for them to walk around. Separate roof for nesting boxes if you think that is a good idea. Get the nesting boxes and enclosure off the ground. 

Thanks,

FL

Here is just one of the hundreds of designs on the internet. Do a Google search, "building a chicken coop" it all begins for you:

This is a pretty jazzy one, but you can also de-feature as far as you want. There are other ones that incorporate an outdoor yard too. Have fun.

Make sure they are layers and not meat chickens.

I am too lazy in my old age to build any coops, I buy Amish Sheds or coops and have them delivered and set them up the way I want. Craig's list and facebook marketplace has many to choose, all different sizes and prices. I will be having one delivered in the spring for my pigeons.
