Just finished our coop for our first pair of chickens. New to chickens and this site. I look forward to learning a thing or two.

Looks quaint, beautiful, and perfect!! Lovely coop

Chickens are a new hobby for our family. We have 16, 4 barred rocks, 4 columbian rocks, 4 light brahma, and 4 RIR. We started building the coop 2 1/2 weeks ago and were able to move the hens in this weekend. The frame is made of 2 old 15' trampolines. So far, we love raising chickens and cant wait for them to start laying eggs

This is my 8x8 with attached 12x20 ft run. I have 10 birds ranging from 5-8 weeks old and wouldn't consider putting more than 2 more in. I have a nice roosting ladder and 6 nesting boxes but eventually plan to do external nesting boxes for them to have that much more inside room. I do have an automatic watering system which is the greatest expense I incurred besides new wire. I had accumulated the tin, the posts, the boards, hinges, screws, etc over the years for everything else. It still cost me $500 in feed, PVC, wire, watering system, etc.I can't get the other photo to post but they are all in a post just a few above this one.

O I didn't see the pic when I was looking at it a while ago it is really nice now that pvc is that the perch for the nesting boxes or the roosts

Chicken run I'm working on for our 6 Brahmas. It's made of pallets and bed frames. Evidently need some lattice or chicken wire around it to keep them in! Going to cover the top too to keep them dry

That is a very, very small run for 6 Brahmas...A run should have a minimum of 10 sq ft per bird for the average Leghorn type, and since Brahmas are a very large breed, they need even more space.

No this is their roosting ladder. The PVC is just retaining the nesting boxes.

That might be one of the nicest chicken coops I've ever seen!!

So cool

8x10 would put you at 80 sq feet, which is right at about the limit you would want for 20 chickens.  If you're wanting to expand, you should go bigger, and perhaps keep your old coop as well if you can.  

O found one on Amazon or lowes I think it was I liked so I want to keep looking here and make sure I get the one I want

O I just use the 2x2 with the rounded edges at lowes u can get a bundle of I think 4-6 for a couple dollars that's 8 feet long.
