    Default Do the funky chicken......coop that is!

    A guy wants me to make a "funky chicken coop" for him (see drawing) and this looks fairly easy but i'm wondering what would be the best material to make it out of?
    Has anyone made fancy chicken coops?

    Jack a few years ago before I retired my wife asked for a fancy chicken coupe . I knew I'd be the one doing maintenance, so framed with pine , covered with OSB , then vynal sided .gables were cedar shakes , and dimensional shingles and a cupola . Chickens are messy so less maintenance the better . And a lot of accessories available , dawn and dusk auto door opener. Any questions let me know . Jeff.

    Sorry Daddy...i didn't realize i could post a 900k picture. Here is a bit better.
    thanks

    Scott that chicken coop was made from one of those aluminum cages that surround those 275 gallon water containers, i know you've seen those. This one is more sophisticated and something i'm getting paid to make!

    Jeff i'd love to see any pictures you have and advice on the auto door opener, ect.
