We plan on getting our first chicks this spring or sooner but I have no idea or plans on a coop. I'm no way a carpenter or builder. I wouldn't mind trying to build a coop but I can't find any plans I like. A lot of the stuff I see out there is to small for what I would like to have. I would like a run that I can get into (6ft tall) & a coop that I don't have to bend over to clean out.
My question is there a book that has the actual plans & not some pretty pictures of coops in it. I'm just looking for some plans that are easy to understand for a non builder like myself.

Thanks
Jeff
 
Yes, we based ours off of the Purina Mills plan. It's a good plan. We changed a few things, most noticeably taking the nesting box off of the front wall and relocating it to the side wall. Then putting a large reclaimed window above the pop door. We also moved the clean out door the other side wall and just had a top vent on the back wall with nothing else.

I made a photo tutorial of sorts of our coop adventures. It's ALMOST done. We are getting our "ladies" probably next week after the NorCal weather improves a bit. Here's a link to the tutorial:
