Hi Sharri! It's nice to have you here! I suggest building a coop bigger than you think you will need. Unless your city or county limits the number of chickens you can keep, it is really easy to want to get more!

You'll want at least 4 square feet of coop space per bird, so you can look at the coop articles here and get some inspiration for what you might want. There's also a coop building thread you can get a lot of advice in.

I don't recommend buying pre-fab coops because most of them are low quality and you'll be replacing it sooner than later. A shed conversion or simple build would be the best way to go.

Thanks for joining and welcome to BackYard Chickens!
