The wife and I went to visit my parents for Christmas this year. They just purchased a new property in Alabama this past October. It is 5.8 acres of gorgeous land with tons of potential. One of the projects they are working on right now is getting a chicken system in place. My dad has designed and built the frame of this chicken coop and I was lucky enough to be able to help him get a little bit done on this project while I was there.
I'm just going to post a few of the pictures to show the design now and once it is finished and put into service I will update with a part II showing the completion and hopefully will have some input from my dad as far as what he likes and what he would do differently if he did it again.

Gahhhhhh. Pure envy. That coop looks fantastic. What I wouldn't give!
