I built this coop this past summer/fall . I didn't have plans but I had an idea in my head what I wanted and it came out pretty close to what I envisioned . I'll let the pictures speak for themselves and just list the size and the features . The coop itself is 6' wide x 5' long and just about 6' tall from floor to peak of roof . Roof is 6 - 12 pitch metal roof panels , siding is Smart Siding pre primed , windows are from Shed Windows And More , they are 14" x 27" , nest box is a 3 nest box with outside access . The attached roofed over run is 8' long x 6' wide and the coop is 20" off the groung so with the under portion of the coop toatl run size is 13' x 6' . The pop door is a Ladies First automatic door . There are also 2 wifi video cameras , one inside the coop , one in the run , they are Wyze cameras , very inexpensive and they work quite well . I also installed a power strip in the coop so I can plug in a water heater in the winter and it also powers the cameras . There is also a ThermPro remote wireless temp/humidity sensor in the coop so I can check on temp/humidity from inside the house . The coop has soffit vents , they are just open soffits covered with 1/2" hardware cloth , and a 12" gable vent on the back gable end and a larger hardware cloth covered gable vent on the run end gable . We now have 6 birds (2 barred rock and 4 red stars) in the coop ,they are doing great . They were 4 weeks old when we got them , they are growing like weeds .
