I hope it helps people like me that are not too strong and need something easy to maintain. I designed a coop that is 3 feet high and the floor I use wire so the poop goes down to the ground where I can easily use the rake and done. In winter I attach play wood at the bottom to protect the hens from wind, I have to say I do not get snow where I live but temperature drops to zero a few days, it’s a very simple box made of 2x2 and playwood. Very well closed and then I use tarp paper on top and finally I put tin sheets for the roof. I build myself with my son in 1 day, I make this 4x3, I give my chickens each house for each roosters and hens, so it’s a little neighborhood. I also build one th at is I the floor ONLY for the chickens to lay eggs and/or when one has baby chicks, I do not mix where they lay eggs and where they sleep.
