6×8 Hen House Plan For 20 Chickens

Our comprehensive digital DIY plans provide everything you need to build a charming and functional 6×8 walk-in chicken coop, perfect for housing 10-12 chickens. With a timeless barn-style design featuring a steep gabled roof, this coop offers both classic appeal and practical benefits, as the roof pitch effectively sheds rain and snow.

The plans detail the construction of a sturdy, well-proportioned structure that includes a full-size walk-in door for easy access during cleaning, maintenance, and flock management tasks. You’ll also find innovative design elements, such as convenient slide-out drawers integrated into the base of the coop, which serve as nesting boxes and allow for easy egg collection without disturbing the coop’s interior.

Inside the coop, you’ll learn how to build comfortable roosts and nesting boxes that cater to your chickens’ natural preferences. The plans also include specifications for two windows, ensuring proper ventilation and natural light to maintain a healthy environment for your flock.

While the slide-out nesting boxes offer convenience for the owner, please note that the plans do not include a specific chicken pop door. Owners may need to modify the design to incorporate a secure chicken entrance or use this coop as a stand-alone structure with a separate run.

With a generous 48 square feet of interior space, this coop provides ample room for your chickens to move and roost comfortably. Our digital plans make it easy for you to create a beautiful and functional home for your backyard flock, with clear instructions and detailed illustrations to guide you through the construction process.
