We recently moved to the country; well that's putting it
mildly, we moved to the middle of almost no where. It's located near the corner of 'far far away' and 'no body has discovered it yet!'
It's remote enough for us, for now.
We wanted to have some chickens, to start us off; then we will add to the flock and the menagerie next spring. When we moved in, about September of this year, we weren't aware that a livestock auction was a mere month away. This meant that everything was put on hold in the house, to build a coop for potential laying hens. That is, on the days it wasn't raining. September was a very rainy month here.
The plans were simple, and I can post them at some point, but nothing is precision or inspector ready. It wasn't being built to any fancy building codes, it's a very small building which is safe, secure and hopefully predator proof.
Here are the steps we took, with photographs...
