I’ve been posting a bunch of updates on our chicken coop construction and thought I’d put them all together so if anyone wants to see the entire process, beginning to end they don’t have to go hunting for it. 🙂
These aren’t instructions on how to build a coop, but if you’re looking for ideas for a permanent chicken coop, you might be inspired. It’s been a lot of fun building it, and pretty low cost overall since we had a lot of the materials to start with. The only things we’ve bought are the roof and some nails, totaling around $220.
Here is the process of the coop building- click on a link for the whole story:

That is one really nice looking chicken coop. Wow! Great job building it. Lucky chickens.:)
Thank you! Yeah, the chickens are pretty spoiled. 🙂

It seems a large coop, I would like to construct one but I live in a tropical country where rain comes a lot, I wonder if a concrete coop is just fine.
As long as you have air flow in the coop it would probably be fine…Or you could do a coop raised off the ground so if water pools under it wouldn’t flood.
