Hi,

Anyone have a good set of plans for a home-made chicken house?

I saw the one in the book and wondered if these are available online (to share with my dad)

Or if anyone else has any others to share?

Thanks,
Dave

Here's a link for you; http://www.organicgardening.com/pdf/coop_plans.pdf

Try googling chicken house plans. I found several sets when I did it. Unfortunatley, I didn't save them or I'd have shared them. Most seemed quite a lot bigger than I needed as I was only looking for plans for a small house for my two bantams. I will have to scale a set down I think.

Cheers

There are some nicely produced chicken house plans for download at http://www.thechickenark.com which include a small chicken ark (the sort with a roosting/nesting space one end rather than above the run), a simple rectangular hen house and run, plus a palatial chicken house with pitched roof, attached run and nest boxes down each side.

Hope one of them is right for you. I can't see a smiley with hammer and nails...


Best of luck

The pick of the bunch is definantly "Building a Chicken Coop" by Bill Keene. It has 3 sets of chicken house plans plus a book with heaps of information. I've got a bit of a review of it on my blog.

Just been through this. Here's a couple of ssites I found useful and / or amusing.

Try http://buildingachickencoop.co.uk. There's some very good plans for three different types of chicken coops on this site, with reviews and other helpful information.

When you buy Building a Chicken Coop it doesn't just come with the plans - it has loads of information on where to site a chicken coop, how to keep it clean, plus feeding and other aspects of keeping chickens.

We're going to build the chicken ark this weekend - will post up the results.

Hi, you can get "How To Build A Chicken Coop" by Bill Keene. It features excellent Chicken Coop Plans for small, medium and large Chicken Coop Designs plus a ton of other additional bonuses. Hope you enjoy!

When I was researching I found this site: http://www.buildchickencoopz.com/ It helps you choose the location, size needed, etc, and has a great ebook that has plenty of pictures and step by step instructions. I just purchased it and read through about half.

I found another one at this site: http://www.chickenshedfloral.com/ , the plans seem to be professionally designed. The book can be downloaded and printed out right away.

Here is a new chicken coop site that has some good chicken coop plans and DIY information. Not a clean as some of the sites you have listed but still a great resource.
