Chicken-coop designs are as varied as the people who keep chickens. The best design for you depends on how many chickens you keep, your purpose in keeping them, their breed, your geographic location, and how much money you want to spend.
Ms. Damerow goes on to share twelve tips for a successful coop design. Contents include, but are not limited to, space requirements, providing adequate ventilation, temperature control, flooring, installing roosts, nests and nest boxes, feeders, water source, fencing and more.
