About $700 and some salvage for the materials. Too many hours.

    Damn dude, you are building those things to LAST. 7 coops though? I’m assuming not all for yourself? Or have you been expanding your chicken empire slowly but surely?

      This is the first coupe I’ve made for someone else. Between ducks, geese and chickens and some of those needing to be separated even within their own species, you end up with a lot of coops.

      We have basically two flocks of geese because the boys can’t get along.

      Rose has their own kennel because she can’t get along with other ducks. Chickens like to have choices so they have two different coops they can pick form each day.

        Welp, didn’t know chickens like to have coop options. I just got done (well, almost done) building, according to my neighbor, a chicken Taj Mahal. Figured that’d be good enough for years but maybe not lol.

        You’ve got quite the flock though!

          Sometimes it’s too crowded and one coop. Sometimes they want to stay where their nest is even if we destroy the nest everyday.

          We are one coop designed for five birds and sometimes we find 14 in it.

          If your Taj Mahal is made out of wood, you should post it here.

            My Taj Mahal is indeed made out of wood. And hopes. And dreams. And terror that it’ll blow over in a strong wind even though it’s done a great job withstanding some very strong winds already. I will strongly consider making a post.
