Mlo88jcos Chicken Coop

This is a great article. Despite the lack of actual plans I feel I could probably recreate this coop.

The coop is adorable even though likely too small for the number of chickens they have once winter arrives.

They did a great job with ease of access. Explained why the were doing what they did. That is a nice run. Overall a solid article with good ideas.
Big coop and big run. I understand about covering wire being a hassle. What I found out, the hard way, is that tree cover keeps hawks away while the trees are leafing. But in Winter, when the tress are bare, in come the hawks.
Very nicely built. Fantastic sized run big enough for 45 chooks! By now you're probably realizing you need a bigger coop. You got this. You're well practiced now. Keep in mind you need 4sqft inside the coop per bird NOT including the nests. That means 180.sqft for those 45 birds! 10X18 Would work. LOL. OK so for the 15 chooks you only need 60 sqft. For that something like 8x8 or 6x10 would work. Just be ready for chicken math. :lau
You did a good job with ease of access, ventilation and run space. I would consider expanding the space inside the coop if I built this myself.
