    What is best to cover over a quail hoop coop?

    Hello y'all! We're building a hoop coop for our quail. I want to make sure they are protected as possible from the elements. We're in North Texas and in the summer it can get over 100 and in the winter as low as the teens (occasionally single digits). The hot days last way longer than the cold...

    Our first attempt at a "hoop coop"

    This is the bare bones of our first build of a "hoop coop". We have since added two large roosts, more structural 2x4s and chicken wire on the rear and front, and a 16x12ft heavy duty 20 mil thick tarp over it. We add tarps to front and back in bad weather.

  5. Hoop Coop Retrofit

    I live in eastern NC, USDA Zone 8a, aka a hot and humid climate. I built my hoop coop this Spring, and it appears to be holding up pretty well... ...except for the tarp on top, despite the fact that it's supposedly a "heavy duty" tarp. The hem, including the grommets, ripped: Original...

  6. fuzzi's Chicken Journal

    A planning and doing thread... Once upon a time about 30 years ago I went to a flea market with a friend who was planning on purchasing some bantam chickens for her mini farm.

    Hoop coops in extreme climates?

    Hi! I posted about inheriting a coop at the house I bought a few months ago and ultimately have decided to scrap it* and start fresh with a totally new setup.

  11. Hoop Coops in the wintertime

    I’ve been reading up on making a hoop coop to expand our BYC operation. I have a wooden Amish-built coop, but it’s a max capacity with the 16 we have now.

  15. will raccoon or mink destroy hoop house coop plastic?

    I am thinking of building hoop house coop with 6mil plastic over 1/2" hardware cloth for the roof and walls. Will raccoon/mink destroy the plastic trying to get to the chickens before they encounter hardware cloth? Anybody with hoop houses for coops and predators - how do you manage them?

    Our cattle panel coop was inspired by multiple designs, including several here on BYC. Thank you to everyone who has shared their photos and experience. It's been a big help. Since we combined ideas from several coops, we worked things out as we went and didn't have formal plans. Some of the...
