Description

This cozy and efficient chicken coop is a perfect addition to your backyard, offering a comfortable abode for your chickens without occupying too much space.

Measuring a modest 5 x 6 feet, this coop comfortably houses up to 10 chickens. It’s an excellent choice for those starting a hobby farm or for small-yard owners. Inside, the coop is outfitted with plush perches that provide your chickens with a place to roost and unwind. A conveniently located nesting box extends from the side of the coop, designed for ease of access when it’s time to collect eggs.

The coop is thoughtfully designed with two windows, ensuring good airflow and sufficient light. These features are essential for the well-being of your chickens, helping to maintain a pleasant environment inside the coop and supporting regular egg-laying.

For those in areas prone to flooding, the coop is constructed with elevation in mind, standing several inches above the ground to safeguard against water intrusion and potential damage.

What are the recommended tools and materials?

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

What is the level of difficulty of the plans?

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.

What type of wood is recommended for the coop?

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.

How do I ensure proper ventilation?

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

How do I make the coop easy to clean?

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

What are the best practices for coop maintenance?

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
