A Simple and Effective Coop Plan for 50 standard-sized chickens

Quote:

just pondering, but if I were plannign to put 50 large breed chickens into a coop, I'd probably go with a carport, and modify it to be a coop.

I did that for a barn, though, so I'm weird like that. The barn turned out well, however, so it isn't so far fetched. We got a 18'x21' carport, and built a back onto it, a stall inside, and enclosed part of the front to have an open doorway they can come and go as they please (the stall takes up 1/4 of the back part and is to keep them out of the hay and feed.) We put two windows in the back wall, that stay open most of the time, for air flow. (the 18 is width, the 21 is depth)

I mention the carport because A) it is fairly cheap and B) you can modify it however you'd like, if you're handy at building. You'd have the basic structure to work with already. (roofs are the hardest part of a building project, IMO).

I'd love to pick up another smaller carport somewhere cheap to modify into an outdoor run/coop for brooding chicks in.
