"Pratts also carries ready-made coops. Look pretty good for the price. You can also look at ready made storage buildings and go for options that add windows and other ventilation. "
"Here is a picture of the brooder. It measures 4 x 4 feet and is 18 inches high. We had to cut some of the wire to get the chicks out because they huddled in the farthest corners when it came time to move them. We are done with it and intended to ask…"
"Here are some coop pics. I can only upload 3 files so let me know if more are needed. We can open the nest boxes from outside the fence. We started with 4 large beams from some raised planters we took down and still have some left if you are…"
"yes please send photos. I am in need of a larger coop now that I am thinking of having 4 chickens and 2 turkeys. I would like a way to seperate them if I need to also. If you have pictures of the brooer that would be cool also."
"Thanks Bear. Took me a couple of weekends to build since I work full-time and it has served us well. Again, let me know if you want to come and take a look."
"My brother in law built us a very nice coop. If you would like to see photos and get his contact information let me know and I can provide either. He also built us a 4x4 foot brooder as we quickly learned how fast they would outgrow the big tubs we…"
"Some years ago I built a compost out of pallets and It worked great almost to great it caught fire and the fire department had to show up. The fire fighter said it ignited due to it not having a top on it. I got the plastic trashcans from the city…"
"That's cool. One thing I have noticed on this site is people wanting coops which have some artistic flair. I'm the first to admit an 8 foot cube is very lacking in flair and full of functionality. If you can, post what you find at Western Ranchman…"
"ok thanks i'll keep you in mind, I am going to western ranchman and see what they have first."

"I had some big, chain link panels that I originally used for the coop. But the wild birds get in and eat all the food, so it didn't work out for me. "
"I have seen some cool coops made out of chainlink fence dog runs you may want to try. Also, there are a few people on craigslist that says that they will build them. Good luck!

"I called Kirk's Handyman Service at 602-944-3658. I guess they were a sponsor at the Tour de Coops. I am working with Steve. He came out to look at my space about 3 weeks ago. I have yet to her about a plan or get a quote. So, if you want…"
"Here's my wife's photo album where you can see pix of the coop as well as a few others.
