We decided to try out hand at laying hens this spring. I searched all over the web including BackYardChickens for design concepts and pre built coops. I have 6 chicks and I planned to have a 8x4 footprint. While there were tons of pre-fab options, I decided that none really fit the space we had...
Not being a moderately skilled carpenter I was weary but it came together nicely. I still have some time to add the nesting boxes and a few other customizations but this is the coop so far.
