The coop under construction. I didn't really have a plan. Looked at alot of coop pictures and built what I thought was going to be a tractor but ended up being pretty heavy. I have a tendency to overbuild. Used 3/8" exterior ply for the outside with mostly 2x2 framing and 2x3 rafters. Floor is 2x4 and 4x4 with 3/4" treated ply. The nest boxes are 7/16 OSB framing with 3/8" exterior skin. Dimentions are 4'x8', sides are 6' from floor to top of ridge and 4' from floor to bottom of room on the ends.

This run is 6' X 12' and 6' high in the center. Made of treated 2x2's with 2x4's for the ridge board and base boards. I used 1/2" hardware cloth for the lower section and 1" chicken wire for everything else. Two people can move this without any problem. I used an air stapler (used for installing wood trim) to attach the wire to the framing. Used spring hinges on the door.
