From the plans:
THE GARDEN LOFT makes for a spacious, attractive home for up to 16 hens (or more, depending on how much additional run space you can provide).
It is an integrated henhouse and run — basically a box within a box. The elevated henhouse is an ideal retreat for roosting by night and laying eggs by day. And because the henhouse is raised, the entire footprint below is open for the run.
SPECIFICATIONS
Height (roof peak to ground)........ about 8.5’
Henhouse (inside) ..... about 11.5’w x 3’d x 3.5’h = 34.5 sq. ft.
Run (inside)........about 11.25’w x 9’d x 6.5’h 102 sq. ft.
Nest boxes (four) .............. each 15.5”w x 12”d x 15”h
Roost length in henhouse (total)....19’
Roost length in run (total) ............ 22.5’
EDIT: I live in the Bay Area (California) and we have mild winters with no snow.
