The Month-long Saga of our Chicken Coop


By A Simmering Pot and a Mom (Visit website)




Chillin' with my Peeps

(one of our Easter Egger hens pictured above)


This photo album chronicles the month-long project of building our chicken coop and filling it with chickens! 95% of the coop was done in a weekend, but it took us another 4 weeks to put the finishing touches on it and finally get our birds!

We didn't have any plans or blueprints going into this so we were winging it (no pun intended) the whole way. I think we learned some lessons along the way for next time, but overall it turned out pretty good!

Organic eggs here we come!

Yup, our chickens get vinyl floors, it's like a deluxe chicken condominium :)

The frame!
All built out of plywood and 2x4's

The finished product! Minus the barn stars I bought for the doors that the kids keep taking down...
