If the plans that you are working on will be available to the public, you are a life-saver! And very generous to be willing to share your ideas to make it easier for others like me who need things spelled out clearly. Good luck with your work. Hope you'll let me know how it all works out...

Wow....thanks for the encouragement.

I think you're right about the skill saw. Hope the "name" doesn't mean you have to have skills !!!!

Thank you Scott, for the great suggestions and the link to clubhouse coop. I don't have access to power saws to cut wood lengths, but maybe Lowe's would cut pieces for me. I will definitely return to BYC folks for advice when the build begins.

thanks for the boost in confidence! I'll take a close look at the coop plans.

Thanks so much for your suggestions. As I kept shopping for premade coops, and then read reviews, they were always mixed messages, so it's hard to know what to believe. I knew BYC would give me straight answers! Appreciate your time in responding with helpful ideas.

I get the feeling after reading posts, that everybody out there is very handy with DIY coops. Wish I was. Have no relatives or neighbors close enough to ask for help either. So I am hoping that someone else out there has purchased a coop and finds it is just right for their full grown flock...

Am trying to find a suitable coop. Came across the snap-lock plastic coops. I worry about buildup of heat/moisture in a plastic coop. Any advice or owners with opinions about those coops?

Am interested in your reviews about the Round top coop from Urban Coop Company. Am shopping for coop kits. All very expensive, but I figure you get what you pay for. I like the Urban Round-top coop but coop has a wire floor. Any ideas for covering that floor.....and how to clean it...

thanks for your feedback. I am seriously looking at the Urban Coop Company - model is the Roundtop Backyard Chicken Coop with attached run - seems like a good "sale" price and website says it will house 2-6 hens. I won't get more than 4. It has a 16 gauge wire under the roost. Website...

So would you suggest that I either go with no floor or with a wooden one? Searching for just the right coop is mind-blowing. My building skills are slim so I'm at the mercy of advertisers. That's why I so appreciate the honest folks who reply to this Forum. Thanks.

Where might I find instructions for a hoop coop? My building skills are next to none, but I'll try anything once! thanks.

thanks for your suggestions.

thanks PD...maybe I could add the plywood on top of the wire floor. We'll see.

.....and it's a 16-gauge welded wire under the roost.

Am shopping around for chicken coop. Some have solid flooring under roost with cleanout drawer; some have galvanized 1/2" wire. Will the wire damage their feet?

I ran across some interesting looking re-cycled plastic coops. Anyone out there have opinions about plastic instead of traditional wood ones?

thanks for the information about too much condensation in the trailer. I hadn't thought about that. I guess I'll just stick with the regular coop idea.

Broke? Yes. Maybe crazy? Yes....maybe not! Chicken coops are so costly that I had an idea about transforming a horse trailer into a chicken coop. Has anybody out there ever done this? My horse trailer is 16 feet long, solid wood flooring, 4 ft. metal siding , metal rails about 3 ft...
