A Grade Eh Canadian Woods Coop

Very nice coop and very nicely documented build.
What a beautiful space you’ve built for your flock. I like that you’ve given a realistic time frame for building the coop and run and that you’ve mentioned the possible issues as well as the modifications you made to fit your situation. Well done!
Amazing! It is truly so beautiful! I love how you demonstrated your step by step construction so clearly as well.

Very well thought out, designed and documented. I'm sure DH has come around by now to enjoy all the hard work.
What a wonderful coop and run! You did a great job. Your flock will love it! :)
I absolutely love your coop!! Awesome job!!!
Mia, you are an inspiration! The coop is clearly well-constructed and, well, beautiful! I love the rain chain idea - I have the same problem (worry about losing an eye) with the corners of my metal-roofed coop. The time, care, and investment you have made into this coop will be wonderful for your chickens for years to come!

Thanks so much for the lovely comment. I secretly have wanted a rain chain for a long time - most are crazy expensive though!!
Love it.... have always loved woods style coops. Even considered it for my climate...
Wow...awesome coop filled with great ideas. Love the lower hardware cloth windows and the upper dormer style crank windows for ventilation. This article had a funny, clever title, was fun to read, and had great pictures. Thanks for sharing!

Well written, the sort of thing that makes me think maybe I could do something like this. Don't worry, I take a few deep breaths and know better. Nice article.

And I am totally going to steal the phrase "chickens...lawn ornaments, with benefits"

You are welcome to it :)
Nice job. Lots of good pictures of the build. I like the intro and reference to the benefits of the Woods style coop. I have an 8x12 Woods and love it. Nice run addition too. The matching roof line is great.
That is a beautiful coop!

Thank you :)
Well documented and we'll executed. I love the rain chain to help stop head knocks.
I had to hang a small wind chime for the same reason.

I also appreciate the updates. You should be very proud as the coop and garden are gorgeous.
Excellent written article! Many pictures with good explanations and an excellent result!

We've been joking that if the whole chicken thing doesn't work out my 26 year old can use it as a tiny house :) Pretty sure he'd get wifi from there LOL
I like the thought that went into the placement of the coop as well as the actual build itself. Good job!

Thanks very much. My passion in life is to create so both projects and writing fill that need :) Glad you enjoyed my article.
I like the fact that you really took the time on details. I will look for the follow uip and how your flock like their castle, because you built it solid like a castle! But lovely like a manor.

Well, even though the coop is for the chickens I do have to look at it every day :) Thanks for the encouragement!
