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.

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
