What is used for studs in the coop walls depends on what kind of roof needs to be held up...
..and what that roof has to hold up, like feet of snow.

But I go back to Generally Accepted Construction Principles and think 2x4 (at least) and not 2x2. (I seem to remember a story about 3 little piggies building houses and a big bad wolf huffing and puffing...)
This for sure. The only '2x2's I found worth using were quality 2x4's ripped down the middle.and that they might be hard to find straight ones, which I would assume really depends on the local supply.
ha! fast forward to 2021 when 2x4s are going for $10 per 8ft. I'm also looking into building the run with 2x2s or 2x3s to make it less pricey.2x2? Where do you get those? They are way too small.
If it's a small coup and you need to stick to a budget than you can use 2x3s. Home Depot has them for around $1.75 each. Personally I won't
use anything smaller than 2x4s/ You can get them for around $2.25 each.
Most premade sheds from Home Depot are 2x3 construction. They try and
save every penny.
