First coop Soon after we had our country property we decided to get a few laying hens to have fresh eggs. We ordered 6 layer chickens and built a small raised coop, 4' x 8' and only 4 ft tall. we put in a roosting bar and feed and water buckets. This worked well for us for a few years but when we wanted a few more chickens we had to build bigger. First small coop 2nd coop This time we wanted a walk-in coop which is easier to clean and has lots of windows to let in the sunshin
