The Mini Barn Playpen Coop, with pics.

Hey Everyone,

Here is my latest creation,
2x2x3 Barn Style Mini Coop, on a 2x6 run. Seems like I always need another coop... lol

Built this coop in mind to rear a small group of chicks off heat, for a few weeks.
This one is slated to house two black orps who are roughly 6 weeks old and need a home on their own, they are terrorizing my younger chicks.

This would be great for so many purpose, Like mama hen raising young, as a Broody Hen house, or Isolation pen. Not overly big, but can temporarily house a few small critters.

The unpainted wood part was constructed tonight, I am yet to finish it off, it's a two part flip lid I am working on, needs sheathing or wire.

There are a few more things that need to be done, but pretty close to being complete.

I'd like to build a house. Are you free? As in available? I don't mean 'free'. I like how much effort you put into a simple mini house. Like your trusses. We'll have to talk...

I'd like to renovate a house. Are you free? As in available? Unlike Uno, I do mean 'free'.

This is uber cute Love it!

Jonny, do you come up with these yourself or? These are lovely.

I'd love to build little things like this and line my yard with them. Too bad the only thing I can hammer well is my thumb.

Very cute Jonny!

Sweetened, you don't use a hammer, silly rabbit! It's all about the impact driver, mitre saw, table saw and circular saw.

Those sound like they'd be good of alleviating me of my burden of, oh I dunno, limbs.

You didn't need those anyway. You were only using them for evil.

That is the cutest little coop ever! I'm going to try my hand at building a bantam tractor next week hopefully all goes well.

So nice.

Is that hardware mesh or whatever it's called (metal) or the plastic stuff I use on selling boxes?
