When it was all said and done, I told Danielle that having chickens and going to the trouble and expense of housing them is not a good financial decision. She agreed. It was strictly entertainment. So here it is.
We did a little reading and I had/have a stack of sawmill lumber sitting out in a pile, and for a minimal amount of money for wood, we got this built. Hardware and fasteners were extra.
The coop is way overbuilt. I used 2x4s, and the posts in the ground are 6×6’s. Easily accomplished with lighter duty wood.
The planning. Using an older and more comfortable version of Sketchup.
