Once the seed of imagination and possibility came knocking, all I had to do was not get in the way. Easy said than done. Juana Simona started out as an idea on building a center where I could create art all day, everyday. Then, I wanted a garden and chickens. Living in tight knit community of farmers, I decided to join the movement to take care of the land. DIY Chicken Coop: "A" frame A pyramid, an "A" frame. I fell in love with it. Currently, Belina and Guera live here giving eggs when they please. Belina is a tough cookie and Guera is an escape artist. Making the "A" frame chicken coop from scratch was not easy, but well worth it. Here are the materials I used to construct it: (17) 2in x 4in x 8ft Lumber (5) 2in x 4in x 8ft Lumber (2) 2in x 6in x 8ft Lumber (2) 2in x 6in x 8ft Lumber (2) 1fin x 2in x 8ft Lumber (1) 1in x 2in x 4ft Lumber (1) 1in x 2in x 6ft Lumber 8 wheels 4 hex bolts 6 hinches 5 braces 3 locks 133ft of wire mesh Many thanks to my brother and my sister-in-law for their intelligence and skills (also, their power tools).
