When I met my husband I lived on a six acre plot that I was trying to turn into a hobby farm. I was finding it was very hard to do that on my own though! We then made the decision to join our families. With that decision we moved all my animals, kids, and gardening stuff to his place, so we are now in town on a “double lot”. Pictured is our resolution for the chickens. We used the already there privacy fence as two walls and built on!
I wanted to show this as it is a great way to utilize an odd space in your yard!
My husband designed and built the feeder and nesting box and everything works wonderfully!! The nesting box is temporary until we get the coop built.
The only item we purchased was the steel for the roof. We ran out of time last fall, but we will be adding electricity and an actual “coop” this summer. Come back later to check out what we built!!
