Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)These plans do not have "buy a sheet of plywood, cut here, here and here" directions. But the measurements are included with simple drawings of the coop components. Just a reminder, the foxes that this book keeps out are not raccoons with clever hands so all latches must be rethought in the USA. Do NOT use slatted bottoms as raccoons will pull whatever bit of chicken they can reach through the slats. Use hardware cloth as the same applies to chicken wire. We have 3 bantams and use both a mobile coop around the lawn in summer and a modified version of the suburban coop in a garage in winter. We also let the chickens run outside the coops in summer. With daily movement of the coop we have had no problems with flies except when there was also a duck in the flock. Lots of pictures, several coop designs for different sized flocks. Some designed for small city flocks, some for "free-range" small scale commercial flocks. Even a permanent coop with sound deadening for keeping a rooster in a suburban neighborhood. There is also a duck coop design allowing for the messy nature of ducks.
