Hi there. We are just beginning our chicken journey. We have 6 chicks and are starting out with a small playhouse upcycle coop, but planning to expand our flock over the next few years (to probably around 30). So hubbie and son are planning on building a bigger coop this summer. Hubbie has some basic framing and carpentry skills, he is not an expert but not a total novice either. We have access to a woodshop which is wonderful. I have a few questions. We are looking at buying plans on ebay, and looking at this specific coop:

Wow, that was a really long web address sorry! So here are my questions:
1. Has anyone bought plans from this guy? Are they good plans?
2. Does anyone see any problems with the design of this coop?
3. Anyone have any other suggested (detailed) plans we can get online that you think might be better?
The plan is to use half for storage (feed bedding etc.) at first, and then the other half for the chickens and then as the flock grows use both sides for chickens and use the workshop off our garage as our storage.
Thanks so much for your help. Not sure what I would do without BYC!
