Hey guys. Wade Here.
So I’ve basically given you a few tips to get started, and why it is important to design your simple chicken coop properly. Consequently, I’ve been flooded with emails from people asking me what design I think is best, or what guide should they get, etc etc. I did promise you guys that I would show you the exact design I used, and the exact guide I use to create chicken coops even today. For those that can’t wait and want to check out the guide now, you can check it out here:

I have actually tried quite a few designs and guide books, and so far this one has my 2 thumbs up. And for those that know me, know that I don’t recommend things lightly - and only after I have thoroughly tried them.
It’s pretty simple to follow. Unless you want to get crazy with your chicken coop and build all sorts of “nick-nacks” and gadgets, the guide should be more than enough for your needs.
The only minor gripe I have is the fact that it comes with a bunch of “extra” stuff. It comes bundled with other chicken guides, such as how to raise them or feed them properly etc. The only reason this was a gripe is because I only wanted to know how to BUILD the chicken coop, not how to raise chickens. However, if your just starting out with this hobby - the bonuses would definitely come in handy. To each their own.
Honestly though, I wish I would have found the guide before I made all my “costly” mistakes. I seriously went through about 4 fullsize chicken coops only to realize I totally screwed something up. So take my word for it, GET A GOOD GUIDE. You’ll thank me later! Here is the link to the guide one more time:
If you have any questions, let me know or leave a comment. I would love it if you guys would send me pictures of your coop so I can post them on the site for others to see.
I hope you found the information helpful =)
