Looking to see what you guys think...

which Carolina Coop is your favorite and why?

what would you like to see from Carolina Coops?

We love to hear from everyone, we are NOTHING without our friends and customers!

So I need to work on some new marketing ideas...
posters...
promos...
referral giveaways...
web site, FB, twitter and blog stuff...

any input as to what customers would like???

So today we start on a BIG project for us!!!  We are donation our time to build one of our "Shed" coops for the "Inter Faith Food Shuttle" of Raleigh, North Carolina!!!!! This is a great organization and I LOVE what they do and what they stand for. This is their mission statement...
"Inter-Faith Food Shuttle pioneers innovative, transformative solutions designed to end hunger in our community."

Here is their link so you can see more of what they do and offer our community!!!

We are very excited!!!!

So, the time comes every year when we decide we will build yet another coop for ourselves, without intent of selling!  We miss having chickens of our own!  Every year we go through the same routine...  we get chicks... we build a coop and then we get a customer who HAS to have SOMETHING NOW!!!!  chuckle.. chuckle...  So, Matt being the big softee he is, ALWAYS offers up our coop to the frantic customer.  Leaving our ladies homeless.  "The plumbers toilet always leaks." 

Well THIS time, we're keepin' our coop, I'm gonna do a little "coop-scaping" and make it real "purtty like"!  We are going to hatch some eggs with Mikey and see what we get.  We will take Mikeys favorite chick and make it our OFFICIAL CAROLINA COOPS MASCOT!!! 

Any ideas for catchy names for said mascot?  We would love some suggestions!!!!

Can't wait to hear all the suggestions!!!  Thank You in advance

here is an example of aged elegance on the "Natural" finish...  who would've thought a chicken coop could be SO beautiful!

Here is a "Natural" look option on our Clubhouse style coop.  This can be an elegant finish or a camouflage!  All of the wood will weather beautifully and blend in with the natural surroundings yet be protected with a coat of a "Water Seal".  Just another cool option from Carolina Coops!!!

This finish can also be applied to our other coops!
