Northwest Edible Life Garden Coop ::: Coop Thoughts Blog. Gardener, suburban homesteader, chef, and author of the blog Northwest Edible Life, Erica S. is also the proud keeper of a flock of backyard chickens. And the coop she built to house them (based on The Garden Coop plans) has become a key part of her food garden. Erica sent a note about her coop/modifications as well as links to some great posts on her ongoing experimentation — both with the coop in particular and with sustainable suburban living in general: Just wanted to let you know we bought your plans last year and based our coop off of them.

We love the look and functionality. Thanks for the excellent design.The biggest changes we made are: the size (slightly larger at 12′ x 8′), running the ramp up the side entrance of the hen house, fully looping hardware mesh under the coop, and the way we attached the mesh on the roof. . .We made framed panels of mesh and attached these to the roof joists with screws. Many thanks to Erica for sharing her tips and photo.
