Today my husband went hiking after building the chicken coop…my job was to buil a WALKIN CHICKEN YARD. This is a no-wood-cutting project. The Walkin Chicken yard, is built quickly and is enough room for 6 chickens. The chicken yard is covered on all sides with poulty wire, including the ceiling. The simple to build modules can be assembled in minutes. The cost was less than 60 dollars. I built this in 3 1/2 hours by myself. Tonight we moved the new pullets into their chicken coop palace.

I converted a lean-to (shack) into a chicken coop. The coop is approx 5′ x 9′. I have a book called “back to basics” that we got at a garage sale. It had some guide lines and measurements that I utilized. I used mainly old plywood and wood we had laying around so I didn’t have to buy much wood. The hens will be six months old in a couple of weeks, and that’s about the time they start laying eggs. We got 4 – Rhode Island Reds (brown eggs), 2 – Buff Orphingtons (brown eggs), and 4 – Americanas (blue or green eggs)
