New Chicken Husband

[Brannon77]

My wife has recently purchased 5 hens and a rooster. I joined the group because I will be needing to build a coop for what I am sure will outgrow the "store bought" coop pretty soon. I forsee her adding to her flock. I am looking at plans and recommendations for cops that house 15-20 chickens.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Consider converting an old shed into a coop. I did that for my last coop and it was very easy to do and is working out great. You can click on the Articles tab at the top of the page then click on Chicken Coops and look at the various coops that are there.
