Chicken mansion

Kevin Davis' chicken coop measures 8' x 12'. He fenced in a 20' x 20' x 6' tall run area. The run fencing is 1" x 2" welded wire with poultry wire over the top. "Before I completed this I lost one chicken to a hawk," he says.<br><I>Want to learn more about how Kevin built this amazing chicken mansion?

To make the coop and run predator proof, Davis buried two feet of wire fencing under the dirt to prevent anything from digging in.

Davis built six nest boxes and attached them to the wall with an access door on the outside of the building.

The access door on the outside of the building makes it easy to collect the eggs without having to go into the coop.

The roost Davis made is on a slope enclosed with poultry wire to keep the chickens out of the mess.

"I think that 90% of the mess is collected in the sand beneath the roost," Davis says.

The chickens enjoy their new home, complete with the nice roost.

A large exterior door makes it fairly easy to clean out under the roost.

The innovative nest boxes and roost make this chicken coop not only functional, but practical.<br><B>Learn more:</B><P>
