I found my coop plans on woodshopmike.com it's not too expensive around $400 and it's a good looking coop. The plans are $10 the only thing I had problems with was the roof angle. It is 35° not 54°

Hi, thanks for joining us! That's a nice looking coop but I would add a couple of windows for light and more ventilation and also make the run larger. If you run into questions with your build, you can ask on this forum:
Coop & Run - Design, Construction, & Maintenance

Best of luck with your build!

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
You can also convert a shed. It makes the entire build process go much quicker.
