We have a dog now, so we might as well get chickens right? My awesome cousin is coming down this weekend to help my husband build a coop. We are so excited to get fresh eggs! YUMMY!
We have been looking around online at different coops. The site backyardchickens.com has some really great coops. You can look at small, medium or large coops. I think we are going for a small-medium coop. We will probably get between 4-6 chicks for the kids for Easter! They know they are getting them and are really excited!!
Here are some of our favorite coops from backyardchickens.com…
I think this one is my favorite….
My kids like this one in blue…
My husband thinks this one is really cool…
Here is another blog chickencoopblog.blogspot.com that has some cool designs and good information about owning chickens.
Which one is your favorite?

Those are some seriously stylin’ coops! One you didn’t post, which I love, is the kind with a raised garden bed on top… I grew up with chickens and swore I would NEVER have them, now I kind of wish we did. Your kids will love the experience (not to mention yummy eggs!)

Wow, those coops are awesome. I wish we were Zoned for chickens. I do know daughter would love to raise them. Loved this one!
Blessings to you all!
