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)

For $5 only you can have the plans to build your own http://www.calypsoworld.ws/rollacoop.html
The roll-a-coop rotates slowly allowing new pasture to be accessed and leaving waste behind,
Animals stay more active and more productive, gone are the messy chores of cleaning plus the uv light sterilizers the cage on its slow rotation,
A small clockwork drive can move the coop over 20 meters in a day, so all that`s left to do, is top up the water each day and wind up the spring and off she

goes at 1 meter an hour.

If your hard up for cash you can get the plans for free ( if you do something for me )
