I converted a lean-to (shack) into a chicken coop. The coop is approx 5′ x 9′. I have a book called “back to basics” that we got at a garage sale. It had some guide lines and measurements that I utilized. I used mainly old plywood and wood we had laying around so I didn’t have to buy much wood. The hens will be six months old in a couple of weeks, and that’s about the time they start laying eggs. We got 4 – Rhode Island Reds (brown eggs), 2 – Buff Orphingtons (brown eggs), and 4 – Americanas (blue or green eggs)
Well done!
Awsome dude. I’m in the process of doing everthing you did. Great minds think alike. I will post a video asap.
Your backyard looks great! Nice coop.
what only hens no roosters hey you need a roster if you want free chickens
Nice, thats a good size coop. Think I would put more chickens in that bad boy.
Great Job dude
Wish i could afford a house and a backyard
mine is 5×7
Cool setup, very nice. Thanks.
Really nice yard
making surviving collapse a breeze. Nicely done.
Now that is a darn fine chicken coop and your backyard is real nice too. I love all the fruit tree’s. And the garden was a great idea. With that much yard you can do so much. And still have room for the kid’s to play. Kudos..
ok great thank you
@gorideaquad I had two hens when I was a kid. Once I have a yard again (in an apartment T_T) I’m gonna get some hens again! Idk why I love chickens, but I do. I never had to take them to the vet and they lived for 6-7 years. And I don’t remember how long they layed eggs for, but it was a pretty long while.
i absolutley love your yard love love love
So cool!
did you buy them as day-olds or after the got started?
i am in east TN and have a yard. was thinking about some hens. Is there a good number to start with. Do they need vet care? how long do they lay eggs for?
Great job. How did it work out, do you still have them?

always wanted something like your set up
seems very self sufficient

really nice placefarm man. I have 42 chickens right now.
are you going to eat any chickens? I butcher em all the time. Easy to do.
nice video. You should try “Aquaponics” in your barn. Nice place to the perfect organic farm. Check it out.
keeping chickens isn’t so much about keeping the chickens in, as it is about keeping preditors out, ie. skunk, possum,coon, cats, dogs etc.
BEAUTYFULL CAGE AND PRACTICE TOO !!
