Leah's 1st Place Win with Hoop Coop Blueprints
The Challenge
Kristen Pozen was searching for the perfect coop for her daughter Leah’s 4-H Poultry Poster project but couldn't find a pre-built design that met their needs or would stand out at the fair.
The Solution: A Blueprint for Success
Her search led her to us, Cotton River Farm's Hoop Coop Blueprints. The detailed, step-by-step plans gave her the confidence to take on a DIY project. "I was looking for the perfect coop and I guess we'll just have to make it ourselves," she shared.
The Results: A Blue Ribbon
Armed with the easy-to-follow blueprints, Kristen and Leah built their coop together. The process inspired Leah's poster, which highlighted the superior design and their rewarding building experience. Their hard work paid off when Leah's poster proudly took home 1st place at the 4-H Poultry Poster competition, a testament to the quality of the plans and the passion they inspired.
"I am so glad that I found your website. We plan to buy the plans for the Hoop Coop. I was looking for the perfect coop and I guess we'll just have to make it ourselves. Thanks again."
"My daughter is going to use this information to create a poster for her 4-H Poultry Poster. Thanks for this guide."

I purchased your plans and built the hoop coop with 3 cattle panels. I am 71 years old and it took me a week to finish. I did not paint mine since the treated lumber was very wet. Here are some pictures if you are interested (and if they all go through).

After watching your videos I ordered the plans to build my own hoop coop. As a former contractor with over 30 years in the field, I actually removed the next box from my Carolina coop replica and incorporated your roll out nest box into that coop also. Excellent job with the plans and detailing the build in your videos. I am attaching the pictures below. The best part of your plans are found in the very first picture, from a pile of lumber to that. No waste! Thank you.

My son and I have built the hoop coop and I just wanted to send you a few pics. We don't have the next box in just yet but plan on that going in this weekend. We live in NWFla and this is the best idea I have seen for our hot climate. I have a Blink camera in the coop so I can watch the girls anytime of day or night as well. Thanks for a great coop and plans. You've got a great dad as well.

Let's Start Building!Very detailed and easy to understand...
These plans were very detailed and easy to understand, and the design worked out as promised. The wheel system worked wonderfully. We were able to build two, one 2 panel and one 3 panel over this past weekend.

All the hard work is done and it is easy to follow...
These instructions are extremely well thought out and easy to follow. I chose to make some modifications for personal preference, but the core design allows me to create without having to design the entire project from scratch. All the hard work is done and it is easy to follow. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Best $$$ I've spent in a long time...
I have to say this video appeals to a seriously wide range of folks. Desk job by day, mom by night, and the last hands-on construction class I had was probably in 6th grade. I've been able to follow the plans and probably account for 1K of the video watches! So grateful for the details in the video and in the plans! Best $$$ I've spent in a long time.

Here are the finished pics of the coop along the side of the house. Not bad for a holiday weekend project! Thanks again for the plans.

My wife and I used your plans to build the 3 panel hoop coop, and it turned out great. Thank you so much.
