I was being pragmatic in my plans to build our first chicken coop and then my wife saw a pic of the Bluegrass Coop. A beautiful build by Mr Chicken. I guess my shed like version is out the door. Has anyone tried this build or have dimensions? We are looking to make it a bit bigger - 4x8 probably, but I was curious if anyone had more specific plans. Also planning to put access doors rather than building out a nesting box. I'll try and document as I attempt this build. Plan to use metal roofing as we do get a lot of rain and occasional snow. My biggest question is if the raised roof will protect the plywood ceiling on the coop. Otherwise looks pretty straightforward.

Very beautiful coop! Looks like he referenced a book for his build. He left a link to it through Amazon in the article. Might be worth getting!
Best of luck to you!! Welcome to BYC!
 
Thanks. I did order the book because he mentioned doing a hybrid of two in the book. It just seems like such a popular build I thought maybe somebody else did it with clear directions and I could cheat.😁
