$100 DIY Portable Coop!

For just $100 in lumber and supplies, and a few hours, we DIYed this coop for four hens with 10 square feet of covered coop space, 40 square feet of run (with rain cover)!

This is a fast, economical but very functional coop that is portable.

We just needed a super basic and inexpensive coop for our four chickens to keep them protected from predators.  We will be building a larger coop for the winter soon.

 

This coop cost about $100 to build and my husband and I put it together in just a few hours!

This A Frame Style Chicken Coop has everything - an upstairs that folds open for nesting box, a run that is about 40 square feet, and it is portable, so no cleaning required!  I did modify the end to have an access door as well to allow the hens to free range during the day.

I am a plan designer, offering totally free plans to anyone, and posted this plan on my site so you can build it too!  Enjoy!
