Building a chicken coop should be fun! Let your creative side run wild! Although there are things a coop needs, there are no limits to the amount of creative ways you can construct those basic needs. Some people build a basic, functional coop while others go crazy and build chicken mansions. Regardless of which side you're on, or if you're somewhere in between, these chicken coop photos are sure to spark your imagination and give you ideas on both things you'd like to do and things you'd like NOT to do.
And after your coop is done, send us a photo! We'd love to show it off for you and celebrate in your success!

totally enclosed it with the chicken run.
I loved this coop as well...they used a rabbit hutch (on left)
for the base of their coop. Their run uses an old bed
frame for it's foundations--they just built walls up from it.
