FREE chicken coop plan (nice one too) on the Purina Mills Website - Page 9

I didn't put anything over or under mine, quillary. It hasn't been a problem though.

Thanks for posting the link.  I see what my next project will be!

Do you know about how much you spent on materials, and do you mind sharing the information?  I'm a little nervous because there is one person who says they spent $727 for the materials for this coop and another person who says they spent under $200.  We're trying to keep our price at $250 or under and I just wonder if I am being realistic.

Thanks,
CJ

Check for materials on Craigs List. We got a bunch of FREE!!! panels. 3 1/2 X 3 1/3' reinforced with furring strips. They were wooden boxes to transport automotive parts. All we will need for our "new and improved" (and bigger) coop will be some roofing and wire. A new coop will hopefully cut down on the arguing when we introduce the 3 new chicks to our Big girl, Edith.

Great plans so far.  All the wood used is reclaimed from a friend that just built a new deck.  Still have a standing offer of my eggs for free wood to build the coop.  Looking on craigslist for the rest. 

I have a question. I am building the purina mills coop and in the frame assembly specs it has listed (8) 2"x4" treated 66".  Are 4 of those 2"x4" supposed to be cut @ 60" for the roof slant?

nazredhens and

Yes, that appears to be a misprint in the materials list. You will have to cut 4 of them to 60". Of course, no one sells any 2x4s that size, anyway. They will be 8 feet or 96". So all of them will need to be cut, 4 to 66" and 4 to 60". Good luck on your endeavor!

Thank You NevadaRon! I was hesitant to cut them until I knew for sure. Back to painting and assembling.

I modified the plans a little by providing a higher height by 6".  This required a longer corner post to still have a 48 x 48 size. 
Its basically a 48 x 48 x 48 coop.  I just got some more free wood, but might not work for everything.  Still have the word out.
FREE EGGS FOR WOOD!

Yep, I can second this, I noticed it as well in the materials list.

I am Building this coop as well, my bill so far is 152 bucks, I am modifying the coop a bit, buy putting the nest box on the right side of coop, and the cleaning door on the left side and making it hinge out instead of down. I think it will look better and allow for easier cleaning.
