Coop Plans - homegardendesignplan?

[ABChicks]

Has anyone used their plans? We are getting ready to build our first coop and were looking at their plans. They look fantastic but I wasn't sure how easy they were to follow for someone who needs very specific directions. It looks like their chicken estimates are a bit high (I think they're only accounting for 2' per bird) but otherwise? Anyone have any experience with them?

Ditto. Same situation and question.

So, we bit the bullet and downloaded the plans. They are detailed, they do have very specific information on how long each piece is, where each nail goes, etc. There are no written instructions though - picture if IKEA made chicken coops - lots of very detailed pictures.. We still haven't built it yet, but I think with my limited construction experience, I'll be able to build it. We have two plans now (CB200 and M202) and both are over 200 pages for the instructions. We're going to build it this summer and then should be able to be more specific about how hard it was.

Did you ever build the coop using the plans? I'm currently looking at one they have but I'm a little nervous about purchasing it.
