In reply to Renee. We've moved it 2 times now too and it's still standing! LOL, though I really could use a new one now.

In reply to Alicia. Melissa what a great job and I am going to use your coop ad the guide to building my own chicken coop. I hope my coop turns out half as amazing as yours.

I love the coop! These plans are so helpful.

I added this coop to my ‘Ultimate Chicken Coop Guide’ where you can search over 70 coop plans for inspiration: http://www.milefour.com/blogs/chicken-coop

In reply to Elizabeth. I'm so sorry to hear about the loss, that's so hard! I had 6 in this cook comfortably. I ended up enclosing a big area in our orchard and leaving the coop there, open so that all the hens can go in and out and I have 17 that use it right now. Though some sleep in the nesting boxes because they don't all fit in the roost. It wasn't so heavy that it was impossible but we definitely got annoyed with the process, though for the price I'd say it was worth it. I'd love to see picture of what you end up with!

Hi,
I love reading about your home and farm. We also have a small farm–and are new to it. We currently have 9 chickens in a stationary coop/run set up, but we let them free range during the day. Unfortunately we have lost 4 this summer to a fox! I want to build a semi mobile chicken coop and detached mobile run, and I keep coming back to your sweet design. So, it was difficult to move, but how difficult? I am afraid to start building because I don’t want it to be too heavy to move! How many hens ended up fitting in the coop?
