Everywhere you look these days, you can find a DIY project to suit your needs. Are you in the market for a chicken coop? Then try this dad’s idea and upcycle an old playhouse.

On Instructables, you can find people’s personal projects broken down into easy instructions for anyone who wishes to follow in their footsteps. User “flodato” posted his incredible DIY chicken coop project on the site with instructions.

His brief description of the purpose of the project:

“My wife and I tried our hand at chickens about 3 years ago. We loved having them, but we made some mistakes in our setup…I was looking at the playhouse through my living room one day and BOOM! That’s the new chicken coop!”

He separated the playhouse from the rest of the play set itself to start its own construction and began slowly, but surely adding the correct features to satisfy his new chicken buddies.

And even the inside is a cozy spot, ready for he and his family to get their new chickens.

What an incredible DIY project! It really makes you think about all of the odds and ends you have hanging around your own house that could become something awesome.
