Here’s a really clever DIY project. Turning an old swing set frame, either broken or no longer used by the kids into an A frame chicken coop. They’ve simply used the frame of the old swing set, attached some supporting metal around the base to hold it all in shape, attached some corrugated iron sheeting to one end, some capping on the roof, added a door, and attached some chicken wire (you can also find a bunch of free plans for some more traditional chicken coops here)…
The yellow metal runners are being added to help give the entire structure more support…

…view from behind with sheets attached to the back and both sides…
…view from the front…
…chicken wire being fixed and it seems the chooks are already interested in their new home…
…a frame for the door has been added to the front…
…and the door fixed into the frame…
…view from the inside showing nesting boxes, perch, watering and feed containers…
…the final chicken coop…

Again with the chicken frame? Yes it is good but do we really need more chook coops?
