chicken coop inspirations

15 years ago

I just found this site with wonderful inspiration for chicken coops. I kept searching on google and yahoo and the same sites kept coming up. I had 13 pages of results so the last time I searched I decided to start on page 13 of the results and work backwards. that is how I came upon this gem of a site. I am always looking for cool ideas. the website is

http://www.thecitychicken.com. there are cool ideas and if you look at the pictures really well I think you will find most of the coops are pretty simple to make. Even though the site does not offer instructions, the ideas are free!!! If anyone would like to show off coops they made how about posting here? Everyone that owns chickens or wants to own chickens want these inspirations. I need to make my coop in a couple of weeks and I am not paying for ideas or instructions. Hopefully it does not come out looking like a hot ghetto mess. LOL

I also love photos so please post your ideas.

Here is a link that might be useful: city chicken coop ideas...how cool is this??

This website was very helpful and gave us some good ideas for expanding our run without the mess of fencing. Chicken Tractor we may try.

these are my two favorite. I still have my chickens in the house and I am not quite sure how in the heck I am going to get a coop. I wish I had a DH who was handy with this kind of stuff!
I like this one becuase I have a shed that just might be able to be converted. only problem is that it is in the goat pasture and I really do not think it will be able to be pulled out and survive. I don't think it would be healthy to have the chickens around the goats. hhhhhhhhhh whats a girl to do??

I also like this one and I am thinking the run area might be able to be made using PVC pipes. I am jsut not sure about the mechanisim for the wheels. I thought about getting a car trailer and modifying it but heck they are so expensive!! Do I have to build an axle or would a pole with wheels on the end work? LOL
