Very good job and i love the wooden doors.

I bought a remote internet video camera online. It was about $45. Install and connect to your wireless internet network and away you go.

I have also built a new much larger coop last spring. I'll post that one soon.

The platform dimensions were 24" x 90". It was mounted about 23" from the top of the "A" frame.

I installed a wireless internet camera into my coop. It works pretty well, but the software sucks! Does anyone have camera in their coops with software that works very well for them? I don't mind paying for great software. Post links if you have them! iPad appls too!

Very nice little coop! Did you use plans or your own design?

We are getting 3-5 eggs everyday now. My wife has sold several subscriptions of egg orders. Time to build a bigger coop! I can't wait!

Thanks guys! We love it. Still no eggs yet, but any day now. I am thinking about running some rope lighting inside an out and set it to a timer. Maybe coming on about 3 am - that would give them 14-15 hours of light. Maybe then they will kick into laying.

The City of Goldsboro, NC!

I added another section to my little coop. It just slides into the other. I built a wire door to separate the two sections. I replaced the two "BOYS" for hen and these little girls are still much smaller than the others. I hope by looking at each other and not being able to peck at each other...

We won - CHICKENS ARE LEGAL IN GOLDSBORO, NC! Details to follow!

With everything I did, going farther than the plans called for, it cost about $250 or so. It was fun to build and I took my time. Some of the elements I changed to make it look more balanced and then really worked on the finishing details...like rounding off almost all edges. I think I'm going...

bgeyer: Yes, but keep in mind. This coop is moved every day or so. I rarely leave it in one place for more than two days.
