You can do it. Really.
We've broken it down into several manageable steps. Measurements, materials, the tools you need — everything's spelled out. All the basic thinking is done and explained with clear, professional writing and dozens of diagrams and photos.
Order the plan.
For just $19.95 (USD) you can download the plan — a 40-page, full-color, printable eBook (PDF) — right away. Satisfaction guaranteed. Since it's an eBook, and not a tangible item, I can't sell it on eBay. But buying is simple. Email info@TheGardenCoop.com to learn more. Or Google "The Garden Coop Plan" and click on the first link.
Why pay for a plan?
When we needed a city-friendly coop for our small lot, we scoured the Internet, checked out books, and toured coop after coop in search of the best option. We didn't find it. So we designed our own. Designing a coop from scratch takes a lot of time. The upside is that we now have a great plan to share. With the plan, you could start your coop one weekend and finish it the next — and have more time to enjoy your flock and those garden-fresh eggs!
Try it out!
If you think this might be the coop for you, try it. If it doesn't work out, let us know within 30 days, and we'll send you a refund. No hassle. No questions asked. Satisfaction guaranteed.

Grow vines or pole beans up the side for extra shade (and food) in the summer. »
The space between the mesh at the top and the roofing panels makes a great drying rack for onions or garlic at harvest time. Or build a solar dehydrator frame and slip it in. »
Kids like getting eggs from the little egg door, and they can enter the coop to help with feeding, watering, and cleaning. »
The henhouse gives plenty of space for the hens to roost indoors when they choose. It's also where they nest and lay the freshest, richest eggs you'll ever eat! »
There are also several options for where to mount a roost in the enclosed hen yard. We started our chickens in the coop as pullets, so we have a low roost, and one that's up about halfway, shown here. Use a branch for a roost so they can grab hold easily. »
Assembling the coop is mostly a one-person job, but your family, friends, and neighbors will probably want to get in on the fun. »
The coop is simple to adapt for winter, though in mild climates, you probably won't have to do a thing. In Portland, winter brings lots of rain, so we partially wrap the bottom half or so of the enclosed run with plastic sheeting. It took me about 15 minutes to do, and has kept the ground drier by keeping out the blowing rain. Turns out, it helps just as well with snow and cold winds. »
