8×16 Medium Walk-in Chicken Run Plans

These comprehensive digital plans provide everything you need to build a classic, gable-roofed 8×16 walk-in chicken coop and run, capable of comfortably housing up to 30+ hens. The spacious design prioritizes both functionality and traditional farm aesthetics, detailing how to construct a coop with a generous 128 square foot run, a sheltered roosting area, and well-positioned nesting boxes to maximize egg production.

The plans guide you through creating a secure and durable structure, with a robust frame and heavy-duty hardware cloth walls that provide reliable protection against predators. The gable roof design offers excellent headroom and superior weather resistance, ensuring a dry and comfortable environment for your flock.
