My cousin is a contruction worker and has offered to build me a bigger coop. Ideally I want to be able to fit 8-10 hens in it. How many nest boxes? How tall should it be? And how high should the roost be? Any suggestions would help, Thanks in advance.

Have you checked out the coop section? You can get some wonderful ideas on coops there, (or to many ideas haha). My coop is 5x6x6.5 and it houses 7 very comfy chickens. I also have the coop raised, which made a perfect area for a brooder, or in my current case a condo for the 11 cornish x.

Think bigger, we always want one more.
