Description
These DIY plans for a walk-in chicken coop offer a practical and stylish solution for backyard chicken keepers looking to house their flock comfortably and securely. The design showcases a modern farmhouse aesthetic, blending clean, contemporary lines with rustic touches to create a structure that is both beautiful and formidable.
The plans provide detailed instructions for building a spacious coop and run, treating them as a single, unified structure under one continuous roofline. This creates a cohesive and intentional piece of architecture in your garden. The design features a secure, solid-walled henhouse built inside the larger, fully-enclosed run, creating a two-layer security system that offers unparalleled protection against predators.
With a generous footprint, this coop provides ample space for your chickens to engage in natural behaviors like foraging and dust bathing, all while remaining completely safe from aerial and ground-based predators. The plans also prioritize keeper convenience, ensuring that the entire structure is walk-in height with a large, human-sized door for easy access during daily chores like cleaning, feeding, and tending to the flock.
The coop is designed to provide comfort for your chickens year-round. The fully covered roof protects the entire run area from harsh weather conditions, keeping the ground inside drier during wet seasons and providing ample shade during hot summer days. The mesh walls allow for maximum airflow, ensuring a well-ventilated and comfortable environment for your birds.
Inside the coop, you’ll find step-by-step instructions for installing multiple perches at appropriate heights, accommodating your chickens’ natural instinct to roost off the ground at night. The plans also include measurements for building nesting boxes that provide privacy for laying hens, as well as an egg collection door that opens from the outside for convenient daily gathering without disturbing the entire flock.
In summary, these DIY plans provide a comprehensive guide to building a premium, high-security chicken coop that masterfully blends modern farmhouse aesthetics with robust, practical design. With its spacious layout, predator-proof features, and all-weather construction, this coop is an outstanding choice for chicken keepers who want to provide their flock with a safe, comfortable, and stylish home.

Based on our product data, most coops require standard woodworking tools:
• Basic tools: Circular saw, drill, measuring tape, level, square
• Materials: Primarily wood construction with options for plywood, OSB, polycarbonate, and asphalt shingles for roofing
• Hardware: Screws, hinges, latches, and hardware cloth for predator protection
Our plans come in three difficulty levels:
• Easy: Perfect for beginners with basic DIY experience
• Medium: Suitable for those with some woodworking experience
• Advanced: Designed for experienced builders
Each plan clearly states the difficulty level and required skills.
We recommend pressure-treated lumber for the frame and any ground contact points, with exterior-grade plywood or OSB for walls and floors. Cedar is an excellent premium option for better weather resistance. All our plans specify appropriate wood types for each component.
Our coop designs incorporate the essential 1:10 ratio of ventilation to floor space through:
• Adjustable vents near the roof
• Cross-ventilation windows
• Gap between walls and roof (protected from rain)
• Covered openings to prevent drafts while maintaining airflow
Our plans feature several cleaning-friendly design elements:
• Full-height or partly access doors for easy interior access
• Removable dropping boards under roosts
• Smooth interior surfaces
• Tilt-out nesting boxes for easy egg collection
• Raised floor design to prevent moisture buildup
Regular maintenance is key for coop longevity:
• Weekly: Clean dropping boards and refresh bedding
• Monthly: Deep clean, check hardware and latches
• Seasonally: Inspect roof, ventilation, and predator proofing
• Annually: Treat wood surfaces and check structural integrity
