Using some new, some old, and some very old wood, I constructed a new (a 10x better) coop for my 3 chickens. They deserve it. They survived summer heat, dog attacks, animal control visits, minimal space and more. I found this person's post -
Wichita Cabin Coop - on backyardchickens.com and was highly inspired. The paving stone "foundation" was what really drew me to these plans. I think whoever built the original was much more skilled than I, so my coop is just a simplified version of the cabin coop you'll see if you follow the link. Honestly, the doors were the hardest part.

A supremely unflattering picture of our lovely residents. |

Look! An egg on the first morning after the girls moved in. Yummers. |
If you'd like to know more about what I did and the materials I used, or if you live in or around St. Louis and you'd like to talk about me building you a sweet coop for your own urban farm, just drop me a line!
