Just make a coop it's not hard and there's no science to it. Just read up and seen what others do.

How do you know about this?

Welcome from Michigan,

Chicken coop building is not a science. Most of it is preference, but what I would suggest is something that is convenient to clean. Look long and hard at plans and how easy it would be to clean them. Beyond that, make sure it's draft free, secure, has roosts, and nesting boxes. It you are in an area that is cold i'd suggest insulation (that's the one thing I regret not doing). Beyond that, make the prettiest darn chicken coop you can afford, the chickens will be happy!!!!

Good luck!!!
