project: chicken coops

Do you keep chickens? I'd like to - we have the space and time for it, I just needed some inspiration so I put this post together. There is so much more on hen houses by bloggers out there too, I thought these posts really stood out. There's some beautiful inspiration and some basic tips for the beginners here:
