harrycatcat 31 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I have decided to build a coop or ark for about 6 hens but cant find any plans or diagrams to help. Do you have any plans or diagrams or any photos of the inside so I can understand the perches nest boxes etc. I have looked on the internet and in the library and cant find anything . Can you help? Or is it a case of knocking something together suck it and see? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

harrycatcat 31 Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Thanks very much for your replies nelly and john I do appreciate them. I am reading a book at the moment from the library called "living with chickens everything you need to know to raise your own backyard flock" by Jay Rossier. So to answer your question nelly - I dont know what sort of "chook" I will be getting (yet) I need to make sure the coop/ark is good before that decision I think. Thanks again.

The details also include a simple hen house with a run and a larger pitched roof house with attached run and nest boxes down either side - and a guide to keeping chickens as well. Hope this helps.
