5×4 Space-Saving Chicken Coop Plans For 8 Chickens

Description

This practical walk-in chicken coop is compact enough to fit into most backyards yet offers sufficient space to comfortably house up to 8 chickens. The design includes a spacious chicken house with a nesting box tailored for laying hens. Inside, durable roosting bars provide the perfect spot for your chickens to perch and rest securely. A window is strategically placed to not only give an airy and open feel to the coop but also to ensure that chickens receive the necessary light for optimal egg production.

For those concerned about predators, this coop has been designed with strength in mind. While it doesn’t include a fully enclosed aviary, it’s constructed robustly to resist break-ins by predators. Its elevation off the ground is a thoughtful feature that helps keep away ground predators such as snakes and also offers a shady retreat for your chickens and pets on sunny days or a dry space during the rain. This elevation is particularly beneficial in flood-prone areas, keeping your chickens safe and their home comfortable. Accessibility is a key aspect of this coop’s design, with ample room to walk in for cleaning and egg collection.
