Hooray! Can't wait to see pictures! I can stand up in my chicken pen, I prefer it that way, the nest boxes are on the opposite side of the door. Your chickens will love it. You can put some of of the roosts up high and some low so they can have different levels. Did you figure out where the nest boxes are going?

What's the problem with 4 feet high? My kids are only 3.5' tall so it won't hurt their backs at all!

5X12.... I would go with 6X12, less material waste. Odd numbers will have more than even.

its 4 foot tall but 2 feet off the ground so its 6 feet total. i think im going to put the nest boxes on eaither side so that i can get to them threw the doors. i went with 5 feet so that it would fit under the runin that the goats use so that it will be out of the weather and so the goats would still have room.

OK I see what U are talking about now.
