Chicken Coop Addition

We have a good amount of chickens. We hover around the 35-40 range. When we first built our coop, we only had 12 chickens.

As we got more and more chickens, we knew we had to expand. Their current coop is 8 feet wide by 4 feet deep. 

We doubled it.

And we also moved the automatic chicken door to be on the outside of the run, so it'll lock the chickens in the run at night and not just the coop. They are likely feeling a bit exposed with having their wall pushed back and no door!

Floor is in. And while it looks like Steve is smoking something, he's just eating a popsicle. lol.



Up goes the wall

We also relocated the automatic chicken door so it's on the outside now. This way, if they don't all make it into the coop at night, at least they will be locked in the run and safe from predators. 

And the girls just playing with their chickens
