Version 2 of The Coop

After my chickens spent a few weeks in their new home, I decided that they would be much happier if they had more space to move around. I decided to modify my existing coop that would still serve as their roosting and shelter from the outdoors and build a cage around it. I went back to scavenge for reclaimed wood once again, coming across several 2x4's across the street that were salvaged from an old crate. I also found an old sign that was once part of a health food store that recently went out of business. The plastic sign was a dome that would serve as as great roof for the coop from all the rain we receive in Seattle 7 out of the 12 months a year. Within about a week and a half I had the structure built and new chicken wire stapled to the inside of the frame. Nothing was perfect, but I was working with warped boards that had several staples and nails coming out of them. I found the perfect store at ReStore up the street for $20 that would finish out my coop. Even before it was finished, I found my chickens going into the coop to dig around. It was like they new that this was going to be their new home.
