2 Options for Chicken Runs and Coops

In this report of chicken runs and coops I would like to cover different styles of chicken runs and coops. Most chicken ranchers think of the basic chicken coop for their chickens housing. I would like to cover some creative and fun options for your chicken runs and coops.

Option # 1 - Log Cabin

Carpentry Framing

The single institute of a log cabin can be built for your chickens with a minute extra Tlc (tender loving care). The construction is a approved and very basic chicken runs and coops frame with some fascia upgrading. You still begin with a basic housing buildings and the chicken run fencing attached to the side for your chickens to exercise, scratch, hunt and peck for natural proteins.

Visit your local lumber yard and ask them to split in half some 4" diameter posts. They commonly come in 8ft lengths. You will attach the flat side against the ply wood siding walls. Beginning at the bottom and stacking on top of the other notching at each end to give it the stack look of a primary log cabin. The windows and doors are also made of ply wood and faced with the half logs. Add the hinges on the windows and doors for the extra protection from predators.

Option # 2 - Barn Design

If you are well-known with the look of a barn this institute is a natural for the farm look. The construction of the barn chicken runs and coop will be of typical framing lumber in discrete dimensions to fit your specification needs. The walls will be constructed of:

1. 2"x4 "x 8ft. Lumber.
2. 4ft. X 8ft. X 1/2" face grade ply wood.
3. The face walls of the framed coop will be sheeted with 1" x 6" x 8ft. Lumber

The run will be framed to look as if a corral fence with:

1. 1" x 3" x 8ft lumber
2. Roll of chicken wire
3. Bag of tacks or nails

The windows and doors can be made to look as if a primary barn look. Be creative and pay attention to information with this design. The institute is easy but you can in fact make it look like a full sized barn. The area will look like a horse corral with the fence framing. Add the chicken wire colse to the chicken run and door. The extra time you put into this institute will be worth every minute. I would advise adding some roosting poles in the run and inside your barn along with nesting boxes. You might even want to give it the watering troth look if you're going all out. Have fun with your chicken runs and coops barn institute your chickens will love it.

Building Time

If you are going to take on one or both of these designs they can be found on the internet by searching the key word phrase: chicken coop plans site and hit search. Most of the plans you will find will take you about a weekend to build if you are well-known with basic carpentry. If this is your first time handling tools and lumber it might take you a incorporate of weekends. It isn't brain surgery just take your time and have fun construction your chicken runs and coop project.
