Title: 8'x8' Coop Plans
Post by: winenutguy on November 02, 2008, 11:27:57 am
Hello All;
I know I asked this before but I'm still not having much luck finding some 8'x8' coop plans.  Lot's of photo's but no plans.  Does anyone have any other suggestions?  Thank you all once again for all your help.  Best wishes, Winenutguy.

I'm guessing you are wanting actual blue prints?

Yes please.  Our at least rough plans and materials needed.  I'm a clutz carpenter.  Thank you!  Winenutguy

If I had the right stuff on my computer I could draw up some plans. But alas I don't. Perhaps someone else might be able to do that.

All my "blueprints" consist of a piece of paper with blue ink sketches.  I then sometimes then change to plans as I build because a better idea occured to me....unfortunately every thing I build shows it.

Winenutguy, there's a new thread over at Backyard Chickens about the building of an 8'x8' chicken coop.  Click here (http://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=102173) to follow it, if you want.

Whatever you do with plans, just make sure that your chicken coop only has 2 doors.

If you put 4 doors on it, then it will be a chicken sedan.    :-D

And if it's movable it's a chicken tractor.  Which further raises the question, if it has a compost bed in it does that make it a chicken truck?
