I would build an 8x8 shed. You can go to lowes or homedepot and get ideas from their sheds! OR if budget allows, buy one and change it to be a coop

The #1 question that comes to mind is what KIND of coop are you looking for? Full sized 8x12 walk in? 4' tall coop on stilts with a run under it? Etc etc...

There are plenty of free shed and coop plans online. Sheds are easily adapted into coops.

Could you do something like this, even if it's just OSB siding and corrugated roofing?

Here are some plans for a gothic arch style green house that I used to make my oldest coop/run. I will be starting a new one in the next couple of weeks. I will post pictures that will fill in what is missing from the plans. (coop) There is a picture of the back of the old coop/run on my page. This will give you a general Idea of the finished coop. I will also be showing the improvements, that I will be adding this time to make it last a long time.
