Description
For those with a passion for poultry but limited by a modest backyard, this 2 x 4 chicken coop is the perfect fit. It’s expertly crafted to balance durability and practicality, providing a welcoming environment for your chickens.
This carefully constructed coop ensures that even with a smaller footprint, up to 6 chickens can enjoy their space comfortably. It boasts an 8 square foot aviary for chickens to stretch their legs, alongside a secure coop complete with roosting perches for nighttime comfort. The external nesting box is easily accessible, making egg collection and cleaning simple and convenient, without the need to step inside, thanks to the coop’s manageable 2-foot width.
Elevated above the ground, the coop design is a boon for those in rainy locales, effectively shielding your chickens from potential flooding. The thoughtfully designed extended eaves direct rainwater away from the coop, keeping the interior dry and your chickens snug and content.

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
