The yard is about a postage stamp size and completely fenced in. Yes I have dogs the front facing area is about 4 ft that I want to fence in. I have to figure out some kind of gate.

I have the opportunity to get a coop with 6 hens for 100.00. The person is even willing to deliver it. Problem/question...Where I want to put the coop is in the back corner of my yard which has the back dog ear fence, another side of the outdoor building and other side is the privacy fence so I...

I tried the internet but you have to pay for the plans. I have seen used coops on local craiglist, golly the price 300 for a Used coop?? really. I hope...

I forgot to mention I want only 3-4 chickens and they would be free range during the day and in the crate at night only.

Here is my thought for a coop... feedback please:) I have a extra large dog crate with a side and front door,with removable pan. I was looking at the crate and thought , hmm I think I could make this into a coop, the inside door could have a little ramp to the ground. Inside I could fashion a...
