A Summer Chicken Coop
Purchased this make shift bar from the thrift store. Stood it on a pallett
The shelves came out pretty easily
Had an old door in the barn. Used it to cut a bottom for the coop
put some left over metal roofing on top
Mounted a bucked on the back wall for a nesting box (wound up removing that later as it was not working out. I included it because you can see it in the photos)
out of boards sandwiched in metal hardwire and made a door
added a perch made out of EMT pipe
Painted the roof blue
and added the chickens
They seem to like it. I am going to put some bantams in there this year

Living creatures Who aren't even living in it. Interesting concept.

Doesn't look like anymore chickens can fit in there. Bantam will need another coop. Average is 2 sq ft per chicken tho' less can be used if they only sleep there
