Do you have the plans you used for this coop build?

No, I’m sorry! I just built it from scratch.

No worries! I am thinking of building something similar to the Carolina coop design, do you have any tips or suggestions?

That’s what I did. The wife found one on their website and I tried to replicate it. I’m very happy with the way it came out. I still have some more trim to install, caulking and painting but I’m almost there.

how many chickens do you want to have at once?

I have 12 chickens currently, but I am planning on getting more, so probably 15.

I’m here for you! Any thing I can help you with I will. My coop is 6’x6’ and the run is almost 20’x6’. I think that would be my max 12-15. Right now I have 11

You should start a coop build thread to gather ideas and ask questions.

According to the Usual Guidelines,

15 hens

• 60 square feet in the coop. 8'x8' is easier to build than 6'x10'
• 15 feet of roost
• 150 square feet in the run. 10'x15', 12'x12' or 8'x20'
• 15 square feet of ventilation.
• 4 nest boxes.
