Hi Poppy Putentake!

Sure thing! Here's a design for a 4-foot by 8-foot chicken coop that should accommodate plenty of hens:

- The coop will be built on top of a raised platform to protect the birds from predators and dampness.
- The walls will be made of sturdy wood to protect the birds from the elements.
- Inside the coop, there will be three nesting boxes, each measuring approximately 12 inches by 12 inches by 12 inches. These boxes will be installed along one of the short sides of the coop.
- There will be a separate feeding and watering area, located on the opposite short side of the coop. This area will be covered to protect the feed from rain and other weather conditions.
- There will also be plenty of roosting space in the coop. The roosts will run the length of the coop, and will be installed approximately 12-18 inches apart to give the chickens plenty of space to perch.

Additionally, the coop will have a vent near the eaves to help provide ventilation and fresh air to the birds.

I hope this design helps!
