Chicken Coop V2.0 | Construction and DIY projects | Forums

So we decided to make our chicken coop a permanent fixture closer to the house with a large divided run. We have been getting tired of the poop everywhere, trying to put them away at night, egg gathering, etc. This goes under the theory of rotating chickens from their grazing space once a week. I am building a 32x64 run that will be divided into 4 sections that are 8x54.

I dragged the coop over and enclosed the previous "run". To drag the coop I had to raise the front end. I used a jack from my trailer. So we will basically have 2 coops -- in case we get more birds in the future or want to raise some smaller pullets and keep them separated. 

This is where it is going to be permanently.

I still need to paint the new side of the coop. I am not in a rush.

Now this is waiting for me.
