Description

Our digital DIY plans for a mobile chicken coop feature a practical design finished in earthy green and beige tones that blend well with any backyard setting. The plans detail how to construct a coop on four wheels, allowing you to easily move it around your property, giving your chickens regular access to fresh ground and preventing overgrazing in one area.

The blueprints show how to build an elevated upper living area where chickens can roost safely at night and lay eggs. We include specifications for installing a window that provides essential ventilation and natural light, promoting healthier chickens. The lower section of the coop features an open-air run covered by a protective roof, offering your flock shelter from rain and sun while allowing them to scratch and peck freely.

These DIY plans also include detailed instructions for constructing an external nesting box that makes egg collection convenient without disturbing your chickens. Our design carefully considers the daily routines of chicken keeping, with easy access points for feeding, watering, and cleaning. The comprehensive plans provide all measurements and material lists needed to build a functional, durable mobile chicken coop that simplifies backyard poultry management.

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
