I started this coop & run about the beginning of July. It is an on-going project. Having only a 75' X 100' lot, I built a 4' X 8' coop. The front is 7' high while the rear is 6' high. I am 5'10" tall and have no trouble moving about in the coop. I used 3 large patio blocks that I mortared together for each footing. I framed the floor using pressure treated 2 X 4's and joist hangers. All other framing lumber is 2 X 3's. I used 7/16 OSB board for the sheathing. I used 1 X 3 furring strips for all molding and trim. Basic lumber cost was under $200.00! Next steps will include the hen door and a window and the nest boxes and roost.
I will post more photos as they become available. I plan on keeping about 6 hens.
