Siding material, ventilation, and other coop questions.

The dimensional changes are going to take time, and you'll have to re-do the cut list.
..and how much building can you do in the winter anyway?

Good point.

Also looking at these plans, with dimension changes:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/722609...llery-1-26&organic_search_click=1&frs=1&cns=1

That plan on etsy has a website listed (it's visible at the top of the first photo.)
That website has free plans for a chicken RUN:

You might be able to learn something about the quality of their plans from the free one.

But multiple people saying similar things probably have a reason for saying those things.

One of those plans had some errors that several people mentioned, but the seller did not respond?
The other one had no(?) negative reviews, but I wonder if Etsy allows removing reviews that might not be stellar.

Of course the same person has a TON of 6x12 plans, but none are currently listed on their page, just in the reviews

^These plans look quite good, albeit REALLY expensive. I'd probably not do some of the windows and add some constant ventilation in those top triangle bits on one side. I'd only have to alter the dimensions of the henhouse, which is simpler than altering the whole thing, especially because it's all one thing.

There might be a way to contact the seller and ask them to list one.

If the plans are just downloadable files, they can probably sell another pretty easily--they don't need to physically make anything or go to the Post Office in order to sell another copy!

Your too cute for words.

This looks kinda sketchily like stolen photos from other coops, but the 18x6 is good because of the easy alteration of chopping a few feet off the run, and not altering the coop at all. Is this sketchy?

The photos don't match the plans.

Here it is! The 3rd and 4th photos in the ebay listing are on this page. Dimensions are the same, and some of the description too (not many people say the "cage" is 6x6 feet, when they mean the coop or house part.)

And this site says "free," while on ebay someone wants to charge money for it.

The photos don't match the plans.

I agree. The most obvious difference: roof slopes differently (high at one end, instead of high along the long side.)
