I tried to include plenty of photos to give you a good idea of how this was constructed.  Originally, when it was just a frame & wire, we used it as a Turkey brooder.  But then the Turkeys grew up and Lexi needed a place for her little gals & guy, so it made sense to convert it.

It is pushed right up against the house & is very convenient to get to.  Works out just fine.  It’s approximately 7’ long and 3’ deep.  The run next to it is about 10’ long and the same depth and ends right at our front porch steps.

Here is a photo from the winter of 09/10 and our modifications for the cold.  I put down a couple of feed bags and covered the bottom with straw. I used more feedbags on the end of the coop and stapled them on to close it in. We stuffed straw in most of the corners and all but a small hole to get into their run is closed up with straw as well.  They seem to be doing GREAT despite sub freezing temperatures for days in a row. Their waterer tends not to freeze at freezing or just below so I know the coop is keeping it and them draft free and a tad warmer than outside.

This is a FANTASTIC small coop for a small flock of bantams or even 2 or 3 standard size hens.
