Chicken Coop Woodworking Plans

Building a chicken coop can be a fun project that is as simple as building PVC pipe with chicken wire or an elaborate house and pen for an entire flock. Choose the size and style that suits your garden and flock. Build a small hen house for a few chickens or a 20-foot hen house with a hayloft. Diagrams and lists of materials make the work simple, and construction requires simple tools and skills.

Barn designs use exterior lumber and can be built as solid permanent structures or portable units that are easy to move around. Add an outdoor enclosure with a fence to give your birds a safe and attractive shelter and ensure they live a long life. Small raised pens keep birds off the ground for comfort and protection. Our free barn plans are available in many variations and can take an afternoon or a long weekend to build.
