I have been a fan of your site for a few years, but have no woodworking experience. Two years ago we purchased a farm.

My first project was a work bench, although I didn't use any specific plans, I did use skills I read about on your site.

Thanks for great plans. We and the chickens love their coop (made a few changes to suit us)

Hi,
I used your free plans to build this chicken coop. Although I have NO experience it came together without too many glitches. I did change the inside a little but for the most part, I did what your plans suggested.

I would recommend these plans to anyone with little or no building experience.

Just wanted to share some pics.
Thanks a million.

We built your chicken coop. Here is a photo or two. See pictures here.

We also added an automatic chicken house door. Perhaps it is of interest. To see how to make 'an automatic chicken house door'

Hello,
I just finished a chicken coop based off your plans. Your site was a lot of help with Ideas. Thanks

I did make many changes most of them are cosmetic to match the house, the biggest change is I framed it like you would a house and used pier pads for the foundation. This made it much easier to insulate and sheet the inside walls. 

I would say with all the labor that went into this project if I was to do it again I would make it 8'x 8'.  It wouldn't take much more in labor but it would increase your material cost. 

I call it an architectural out building sounds better when I look at the material and labor cost. LOL

Thanks again I hope you enjoy the pic's. See Eds pictures here

Hi, Just wanted to say thanks to you. Through your website I got the inspiration to build my own hen house. It was a lot cheaper than commercially available ones and was specific to my needs. I now have four hens and they laid their first egg today. Great.
Thanks,

MickE
