Building A Chicken Coop For (Almost) Free

Today we finished our 3′ x 5′ chicken coop (yay!) and were able to move our thirty-two chicks out of the green house.

I know a 3′ X 5′ seems a little small for thirty-two chickens, but they are all under a month old right now and have plenty of space. And fifteen of them are meat birds, so they won’t be living in the coop to long. We made a stockade style “cabin” chicken coop as we needed to clear some trees, anyway. We were able to come up with quite a few 4 ft long pieces roughly the same diameter. So then we picked a spot and Kyle started digging!
