A Frame Coop
Almost a decade ago, I built my first A Frame Chicken Coop. And while that coop is still being used today, over the years of using it, I've found ways to improve it. This updated design is water tight at the top with fixed sides.

Single Nesting Box
The hens need a place to lay, build a nesting box and enjoy fresh eggs! I modified the original plan because when I built my nesting box, I was pulling from my scraps. You can do the same, but if you are buying new boards, I wanted to minimize the number of new boards. This is an easy plan to modifify and make longer or add a divider.
Countertop Fresh Egg Storage
Where to store all those eggs? Build one or mulitple egg storage stands. This countertop storage option is a beautiful way to display and store farm fresh eggs! An easy DIY project, that includes plans for a taller narrower version too.
Chick Brooding Cabinet
Chicks need a nice place to develop, stay warm and grow! I designed this little brooding cabinet for easy clean up and access to the chicks. Use it for other furry friends when the chicks grow out of it!
