Chicken Coupe

That is luxury

My wife thinks it is the best she

has ever seen and lucky hens

She wants to know if they get music?

Pretty neat.

The only thing I can see, that is needed is a removable bottom tray for cleaning up the chicken s*^t…Oh how I liked that job as a youngster…. Nice looking coop….

Is that chicken wire on floor of the run? I thought that was bad for the chickens feet? You might want to look into that. However thats a very nice coop. I might be stealing some ideas for my own :)

Yes but we put dirt on top of the chicken wire. This prevents animals from digging under the base and up through the bottom.

Nice coop. Well done. However, at an average cost of a dozen eggs hovering around $1.00; three eggs a day; dozen every four days—you save about $91.25 a year on eggs. At $600 for the coop (not including the cost of chickens and their maintenance), that’s a little less than 6 1/2 years before you get a return on your investment and it does not include the cost of feed for the chickens. Must be a labor of love or the better taste of organic eggs. Actually, the taste of organic eggs is a good thing.

Well, your right but I actually got all the materials for free from a close friend who owns a lumber yard. The only costs are about wood chips $5 and food $15 per month. Organic eggs are amazing, everyone seems to love them so, yes, that is a up side.

Drllucas did not figure in the value of the chickens as a product. Eggs and chicken would add up faster.
