This great-looking chicken coop is unfortunately neither easy nor cheap, but it is so fine-looking that we felt compelled to include it.
It took our two neighbors about two days (sixteen hours x 2 bodies) to construct and paint it, which is a little more labor intensive than we tend to recommend. But again, the end-result, we feel, justifies the extra time and cost put into this chicken coop.
The materials cost was a total of $730. This included the wood, the hardware, screens, and paint.
The face wall (bottom of floor plan) will have two small windows with a windowed door in the center. This part will be the “front” of the house and provide its cosmetic face. This does a lot of the work of the good looks we mentioned earlier, and gives the coop it’s “homey” feel.
time to construct: 32 man-hours
cost to construct: $730
Below are two pictures of the finished product. Stay tuned for pt.s 2 (construction) and 3 (interior views), coming soon.
