If you’re looking for a quick start-up for a coop, you might consider the chicken ark. We made one from scratch, but if you’re not comfortable with saws and hammers you can just buy one. Here’s a pretty option, available at http://handcraftedcoops.com/.

Be warned, my personal experience was that the ark was difficult to clean (poop and chips get stuck in the corners.) I actually had a family of mice move in one year!  Also, they are HEAVY so it will take 2 strong people to move it. But, they are cute and trendy and the chickens will be safe from most predators. Here’s my peanut in the foreground, homemade ark in the background:

Thanks to my buddy Rob for passing this one along!
