  • AutomaticChickenCoopDoorcom is the link to the site where we provide the Automatic Chicken Coop Doors. We've had many people buy them.... no valid complaints as of yet! Everyone seems to really enjoy the assurance of knowing thei birds are safe at night. Our door has not failed on our coop yet. No losses since installing our own Automatic Chicken Coop Door!

  • World's most expensive chicken run, right there. I mean- CHAIN LINK? Daaaaaannnnngggg. It's a chikkun mansion!

  • @homeostasis4me Actually, all of or fencing was given to us. It was an old dog run that someone had behind their garage just wasting away...

  • I know this was expensive to build but, If you want to have something that is going to last, its well worth the price. very well thought out. I would of done the same thing. I dont look at the price I look at safety and happness of the chicken I dont play around with my food. :) would this work well for a turkey if you made the doors bigger?

  • @crewlla Yes it would. Actually, our goats usually end up in the chicken run during the day. I think they feel protected inside the fence when the girls are out free ranging. There are usually a few chickens still in the run and they signal the alert if an intruder comes around. I believe you could keep just about any kind of bird or small animal in this set up. I may build another just to raise Bob White quail in.

  • wow, nice coop but it must have cost a fortune to build.

  • @ssecretgirl1983 Not really... alot of spare stuff we had from building a house last year. Any small shed could be converted to this.

  • You're hard core!

  • This is very nice for someone with money to burn. however lots of people who are interested in chickens are not looking for a hobby to throw money into. They're looking for a way to create more value for less money.

    You did a very nice job.

  • Very very very smart to add the pen that birds of prey can't even get into. I know a friend who had chickens and her's was killed by a hawk because the chickens were roaming freely.

  • It's one of the best coops I have seen, and obviously still very new. I do believe that your hens will begin to roost on top of your window screens, however. An alternative design would be to screen over the entire window on the inside, and have the windows tilt outward, either hinged on the sides, or hinged on the top so that rain won't come in.

    Very good job!

  • Forget the chickens, I want to live in that coop.

  • wew

    

  • From having macaws for years, I know that birds really like to perch on what they'd naturally perch on in the wild - a round branch. Manzanita is a hardwood and is smooth and really good for their feet unlike square store-bought wood. You can find it on ebay as branches precut or trim it yourself. Also ceramic bulbs last way longer than red ones and do no emit light that might irritate the birds to sleep under. But all and all what an amazing coop.

  • @AutomaticChickenCoop You might want to consider rain water harvesting and collect some of the rain water right there at the coop. Many folks have set up auto watering from a rain barrel. - Just a thought... Aquabarrel Rain Barrel

  • It's funny how a chick cost $4.00 and I a cage can cost Thousands. You did a great job on your cage I really like it!

  • That is the best coop I have ever seen in my life the two way entry was brilliant and you have spared no expense on the safety and well being of your chickens and your way if retrieving the eggs is brilliant as well I'm so tired of having to go into my coop and scare the chickens every time I want eggs would you mind if I modeled my new coop after yours and where can I purchase this automatic coop door opener that is such a great idea
