Now I know what all the fuss is about.

Or rather, should I say what all the clucking is about

We've had the girls in our backyard for a few months now, and mygoodness, are they fun! And the ladies haven't even started layingeggs!!!

We've only got four chickens, and they are quite happy in their little AFrame Coop, [7] let free during the day.

But if you fancy a fancier chicken coop, you really must check out theShed Coop Plans [8] that Whitney [9]built a while back.

Hello Cuteness!!!!

But the chicks in Whitney's Shed Coop [8]still needed a run. I don'tknow if it is true that a happy chicken lays a better egg, but I can tellyou this: A happy chicken running around in a coop clucking candefinitely make your day better.

So Whitney and I worked together to create a coop plan that minimizesscraps and maximizes space savings. And a plan that would be easy tobuild.

Two days later. Less than $200.

Whitney did a few modifications to use materials that are available toher - specifically 24" chicken wire - so make sure you check out her posthere for more details. [10]

Thanks Whitney! And of course, the plans follow! Check them out!
