I converted a lean-to (shack) into a chicken coop. The coop is approx 5′ x 9′. I have a book called “back to basics” that we got at a garage sale. It had some guide lines and measurements that I utilized. I used mainly old plywood and wood we had laying around so I didn’t have to buy much wood. The hens will be six months old in a couple of weeks, and that’s about the time they start laying eggs. We got 4 – Rhode Island Reds (brown eggs), 2 – Buff Orphingtons (brown eggs), and 4 – Americanas (blue or green eggs)

Thanks for the tip. Question: My run is really muddy right now cause of the rainy season. Should I put something down outside in the run like rice hulls or hay or just let em peck around in the mud? I don’t let them go free in whole back yard very often because they eat our plants.
Thanks!
