The internet was not around the last time I had chickens and my memory has dumped a lot of info. I put up a pen in the woods behind the house back then and built a small house with scraps and siding I had. Seemed to work just fine and I also raised a few in that pen that I put in the freezer.
I would like something a little nicer at the place we just moved to and I will add one of the automatic doors I have seen mentioned here. Do any of you have plans or pics of something simple and functional, both inside and out? Searching chicken coop brings up a lot of ads and hippies and stuff that I am not interested in. I just want to refresh my memory on the minimum space I need for boxes and good design for roosting for about a half dozen. I may add more covered space and wire, in case I do want to raise a few for the freezer here and there.
