Started this project about 8 days ago.
Had to! Chicken math and my wife.
She,we bought 11 hens 1 rooster last March. Ok quick build was a 8×8 Hoop coop with a 15×15 run. Worked pretty good,for little while. Sister in law gave her another hen. Ok. Then another rooster. Then local feed store had chicks. This one on me. Purchased 3 pulletts. That makes 15. Then more math kicked in Yada Yada Yada!
So now up to 25 hens. No roosters. They got teriakied. Bad behavior.
So 8× 8 outgrown. And the build begins. All work done my self. So I will go with materials then final cost.
Old hoop coop will be removed as soon as 6 pulletts are big enough to release with others
Run will be tied into new coop. Top half of run will be covered.

Coop is 12×8×8
No plans on the build just in my head.
