I am looking for plans for a 6 chicken coop.

Welcome to BYC (BackYardChickens) LJHFB!

Do you have a basic plan or any preferences? I like making coops out of large wooden boxes but everybody has different opinions. If you want some ideas try checking out the BYC articles about small coops here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/categories/small-coops.18/

Good luck!

Take this advice from a newbie who didn't listen to vertan chicken raisers, build LARGER than you think. So expect to have 8 to 10 when looking for building plans.

About right. going to have 6, then 2 died and we went to 8, then 1 died, and we had to buy 4, so we're at 11 chicks 4 days old to 8.5 weeks old. If another one dies, I'm buying a stuffed animal that looks like a chick and sticking it in the back of the coop so the Mrs. doesn't realize it's not real.

Too true, make it much bigger than you think you'll need!
