Chicken Coops of TD

Post your setups
I'm relatively new to chickens with ~9 week olds right now. 4 White Rocks and 1 Buff Orpington.
One update I am planning on is cutting out some of the inside wall to the coop to provide more ventilation.

Have an A frame I bought used then built a hoop coop that I attached the A frame too. Almost identical to the pics above except that they are attached. If I were to do it again I wouldn't do the A frame because its a pain to get into it if I have too. Mine are 9 weeks old also so no eggs yet.

Chicken snakes are going to love all that brush around your coup

Forgot to mention, I have the plans to the coop in the OP if anyone wants them. I can email

I'll put pics later but I built a coop with 4 nesting boxes for our 4 hens. Those bitches all sleep in the same box
Also too dumb to figure out the nipples on the water rig I made

That saucer one is cool - looks like the base is a repurposed trampoline frame?Posted on 5/8/23 at 9:37 pm to TigerTatorTots

Putting wheels on it to move it weekly for fresh food.

Yup! Ours got out of laying order, and for a while they were even sabotaging each other's eggs!

What automatic door is that and does it work well?

FYI - PDZ Stall Refresher 25lb bag is on sale at Tractor Supply for $9.99 through Sunday. Great for absorbing moisture and keeping the smell down in the coop
