Tall enough to install a people door in. It’s no fun having to duck every time you go into the coop or run.What would be a good height? Something I am comfortable working in?
Exactly so. Bending/stooping for the occasional clean out and frequent egg gather is no fun.What would be a good height? Something I am comfortable working in?

A taller coop is also helpful to keep ventilation above the heads of the birds in the roost...in a hot or especially a cold climate.What would be a good height? Something I am comfortable working in?
Well, yeah it can be, if it goes on for days at a time.Zero F isn't particularly cold (as chickens account such things, anyways).
Ohhhh okay! I think that should be plenty big enough then
Hi!Hey there! My wife and I are planning on either building or buying a coop this year, and we want to get 6 hens. Would a 64sq ft coop be a good size for this? If so, what height would be best? This size includes room for exploring and nesting boxes. Additionally, what is the best practice for keeping them warm in the winter? The area we live in can frequently get down to zero farenheit for periods, so I want to make sure they stay safe!
Do they spend the night there?I threw together an 8x12 hoop-coop style tractor a couple weekends back for a few hundred $ I use as a grow out pen for the latest hatch. Its 96 sq ft and is roomy for four baby ducks. Its adequate for six full sized hens, or as a place for the four baby turkeys going in it next week while they get some size on them.
