In search of the best coop

[PirateGirl]

I think after everything we decided to build a coop. I do want one that I can walk into. Where is the best place to find plans?

Be careful looking at coop plans,
many are just as badly designed and sized as the prefabs.

Best bet would be to find plans for a shed, would give basics on building a structure, but you'd probably need to add larger roof overhangs with open soffits for chicken ventilation.

Or you could go for the Woods coop...
...there are several threads with detailed guidance here on BYC.

I just got my first coop in January. I first purchased a pre fab that was "local" and found that they are a giant scam (Im still dealing with them). They import from China and threaten you a bunch. Do not do it. My best advice is to get a shed. Find a good local builder or even a Home Depot. Just have to add nest boxes, perches and some ventilation. Cost will be dang near what you would pay for a prefab or custom local coop and you can get more room. Just build a run. Thats the easiest part.
