My flock has since moved on to a 10 by 10 coop, but this one was/is home to 4 bantam hens who will soon be evicted to the 10 by 10 so my new set of chicks can have the little coop and run as a brooder until they are ready to go out with the big (and little) girlsMrs. Laughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13712750418668042090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888779459755945341.post-76603145443433568382009-03-17T13:28:00.000-05:002009-03-17T13:28:00.000-05:00Hi, love the coop and we are inspired to build one...Hi, love the coop and we are inspired to build one..today!

Our kids are excited to get some chicks in next week: 3RIR, 2 Blk Australorps, 1 Buff Orpington & 1 barred rock. We have lots of coons, coyotes, fox, etc. so I'm trying to build a run to go around the pen. My dad built the pen in the garage cuz it was raining at Xmas... so now I have to figure out how to move the coop. Thanks again!<BR/>-Kim (Redding, CA)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03436049890811924223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888779459755945341.post-53045151978309726402008-06-17T12:31:00.000-05:002008-06-17T12:31:00.000-05:00As far as plans go...you should be able to click o...As far as plans go...you should be able to click on the picture of the plans and it should open larger for you. Other than that the coop is 4 foot deep by 8 foot long and it is 4 foot tall. It is on legs that are a foot tall. It has 6 legs (each corner and then 2 in the middle) Between the 6 legs there are braces for the floor. The three nest boxes are 14X14 square and are 18" off the bottom of the coop. The roost is a board that come out from under the nestboxes (it could be higher as I have one hen who prefers to roost on top of boxes) I would like to have the roof of the boxes slanted so nobody roosts on them. Originally we were going to have 2 4 foot doors, but decided one was enough, now I disagree. The chicken door is a 12" by 12" opening.Mrs. Laughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13712750418668042090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888779459755945341.post-25265979692256095802008-06-16T22:33:00.000-05:002008-06-16T22:33:00.000-05:00Do you have any larger plans avaible?
