I am currently building a coop that is inside my woodshed. The original plan was a 4x8 coop, and 7 feet high, all inside the woodshed. I extended it to 4x10. My question is...How should I design the inside? I have a basic idea of nesting boxes, roosts and feeders/water, but I'm not sure which way would be the best way to give the chickens the most room.
Thanks

Question is, how many chickens....

First thing that comes to my mind is...

| R |.....| N |
| O |....| E |
| O |....| S |
| S |.....| T |
| T |.....| S |
| S |.....| - |
| - |......| F |
| - |......| & |
| - |......| W|


Where F&W is food and water..

I know.. crappy way of showing it.. No time to whip anything up in photoshop though to represent my thoughts.

Door on the F&W side.
 
Well, a 10' roost would be fine for that many birds... Another option is either a ladder roost on the back 4' wall, or maybe 3 level roosts alone that wall, then have the nest boxes and food & water on opposite walls at the front.
