Well… here’s the coop.
I have been dragging my heels about posting photos because I still have a few finishing touches to do before I feel the coop is complete, and I really wanted it all cute and spiffy before I showed it to you. I still think it is pretty cute despite it’s unfinished state, but you must promise to come back to see it once I get it all spiffied up!
When I look out from the kitchen, the coop is in full view. I absolutely love it.
…
And I love seeing it from the garden, too.
I can hardly believe that what started as a rough sketch on a piece of paper, has become reality in my back yard!
You can find much of my design inspiration on the ”coops” board of my Pinterest.
I LOVE it! You did a beautiful job, Christi! I’m glad my chickens can’t see it–they would try to move in with yours!
How adorable and I am sooo jealous! I would love to have one in my backyard to play with too. Can’t wait to see more. Have a great weekend.
It is beautiful as it is – happy hens!
Wow! It’s perfect!
Can you please show more pictures of the inside? I love just the plain white.
I will show more photos of the inside as well as other details once I get things spiffied. Stay tuned.
So beautiful!! Can I move in?! Well done!
Oh my!! It is the most beautiful coop ever!! Did your hubby build it?? Love all the details. And, the inside is so lovely. I can’t wait to see more. Thanks!!
Christie! Your coop is amazing!! I love it…and all of the fun details. The chair and chandelier…oh my! Can’t wait to see how you spiff up an already beautiful space
.
Merry Christmas!

I never wanted to live in a chicken coop until right now. That is amazing. It almost makes me wish I hadn’t scrapped my chicken plans! You outdid yourself!
Lovely! What a beautiful coop!!!! Not sure how I missed this post….I was so anxious to see how it turned out! You did an amazing job! (Looking forward to Round Top and a stop by Hermann’s!!) Happy Easter to you and yours.
Thanks, Alycia! And thanks for all of the advice you shared with me along the way. You had some good ideas. I went with the waterer you suggested.
Hope you find some great stuff in Round Top. Happy Easter to you and yours, too.
After seeing a mention and a couple of photos of this coop in Texas Gardener I was super excited to see your web page and I haven’t been disappointed. I can’t wait to see more interior photos as I am preparing to build my own coop, though it will never look this sleek as it will likely be made from refurb things, but I adore this design! Many thanks for sharing it with all of us!
Looks great! Do you have approximate dimensions of the shed and run enclosure? I’m building a new set-up and would like an idea of how big I should build (I was thinking 10×14 for coop/garden shed and 10×10 for run)
Hi Melanie… the coop is 8×12 and the run is about the same. I have eight hens and this size works well for me. They do not spend much time in the run because they spend most of the time out and about in the yard. If they were going to be in the run more often, this size would be a bit small. Hope this helps.
