This is a superb coop for a few chickens. Any more and there would need to be a bigger run but this is one of the cleanest designs I have seen. Good job! Wish we had dimensions or plans or how to pictures in addition to the ones that are here.

@Jnet If there is not mesh on the bottom, there are preditors that will dig under the enclosure to get in and feast on chickens. Those predators are mainly nocturnal, meaning that they are active at night, which is why it is still important to lock the roost up tight in the evening.

Well, in this one, something might dig under, into the run. My husband said the same thing about our coop/run, and we stopped closing the coop. But, closing them in the coop does help them get into the habit of roosting and nesting where you want them too as opposed to digging a hole in the ground and nesting there, ect.

This coop is awesome. On the 7th pic down ( and also the 11th)...what are the circle cut outs for? Functional or decoration?

Now this is a fun coop. Proven design, but the color combo is amazing. And a parquet floor.... Excellent.

Lol I bet your either not a gringo or you have a lot of Mexicans around
Lol so, can you share the plans? I have a small coop, but I want to build a run like your. That height allows you to go in.
