Chicken coop ideas are all over the Internet these days. Why? Because raising chickens in your backyard has become a popular hobby and self-sufficiency project for many. You’ve likely seen photos of super cute chicken coops or ingenious chicken setups online. If you’re interested in raising chickens yourself, here’s some chicken coop DIY inspiration.

1. The Shed

A chicken coop that looks like a freshly-painted garden shed is not only functional, but beautiful. The best news of all is that it won’t cost you a lot to build up and comes together quickly. Grab your toolbox and get it up this weekend.

Use an old water tank, scrap wood, and pallets to make this awesome little hen house.

 

9. Old Trampoline

Got one you’re not using? You can make a very roomy chicken coop and run. Just add the nesting box and surround it with wire.
