This is my dream coop and run that I built in my suburban backyard for my family to enjoy. It's in an awkward space and the run had to be a non-standard shape, but everything turned out great and I'm very happy with it! The coop matches our house, and the run has a very woodsy, natural feel...
After a lot of hard work, my first chicken coop is complete! The eight pullets are now 6 weeks old and have moved into their new home.
