We are building another house right now that is 4x6x4 and I am taking pics at every stage. I will try to get the info to you as I can. you will want to do the roof different than ours because we have a pile of trusses that we are going to use. It wont be hard to change the roof though. And I would think you could make it for under $250 pretty easy.

hmm, thats interesting. dose it need chicken wire? if so, how tall dose it need to be? i only have about a whole coil of 24in. tall and i need the remaining money i have for baby chicks i'm getting in april.
 
The house itself will not require wire but the yard of it will. You can make a circle pen around the house. I will make a list of material and will figure the cost. We are building the house to go in a big pen. Not a covered yard for now. But you can do the yard however you want after the house is done.

That would work if you're in a warmer weather area...not sure how a doghouse set-up would work if you're in an area that gets really cold winters...??? How many chickens are you getting??? That will determine the size of coop you need...
