Thanks! The chickens are pretty fun so far, we’re already pretty attached.

Looks nice.

Being a chicken isn’t easy, but owning them isnt either so god bless costco for a deal on both eggs and bird : )

Ive owned them and would love to have that whole experience again but life changes and the chickens had to go but I miss the lifestyle of fresh eggs, and the sounds of the rooster when the fox got in the barn, little weasel and rat and before ya know it all the kids and wife are up and its just a lifestyle of not being in a hurry and that i miss never : ) ok maybe some times but Im not there yet : ))

sarcasm intended as no one told me that chicken crap is like space glue and their little beaks can take down a garden faster then a cloud of locust, and they are for the most part one dumb ass animal that tastes good, and gives eggs, and lays a turd where ever it wants, and that turd is a can of beans that most folk shouldnt open as its a very fast learning curve, thats a lot of fun when kids are small

Thats a very nice coop you made, and reminds me of my own as it showed a few things to me. You do nice work, it functions well, and Im guessing you love some one more then you love those chickens. Its a good lesson to teach people and even yourself, no one does it anymore which to me is sad and then again, Im ok with costco right now, as are my kids, they saw the egg hatch, and were born to the world of wonderment, what a gift to give a child

I might get chickens this summer at costco again

thanks for the memories

My mom will love one of those, as she used to have chickens in the backyard but we had to sell them, to make room for the wood we use in the workshop.
i had to make one of those and get some chickens!

thanks for sharing

my mother would shoot me

and if she missed

my Dad would shoot me

if I dropped that off at their door

its what taught them how to survive 65 years of marriage

Looks great.
I’m not sure what you night time temperatures are at night but all that open vent area may create a cold draft. You might consider some way to close it off at night and during storms.

Thanks for the comments and kind words. I guess chickens bring up memories for a lot of folks.

This is a point of concern. We live in Phoenix (Tempe technically) and our summers are brutal. A lot of people in the area use misters to keep chickens from overheating in the summer so I was pretty paranoid about the coop. The winters are mild (high of 75 today), but I have thought of putting a reed covering or something over the cloth to keep it dry. It’s rained a few times though and I’ve checked the coop and it seems to stay dry so we’ll see.
