Chicken Coop Plans for Every Flock Size

Our designs range from compact coops for 3 to 6 hens to large walk-in coops with covered runs for 15 to 20 hens. Choose a raised coop to keep your birds dry and safer from predators, a walk-in coop for easy cleaning and egg collection, or a barn-style coop with a hayloft for extra storage.

How Big Should a Chicken Coop Be?

A common rule of thumb is about 3 to 4 square feet of indoor coop space per standard-size hen, plus around 8 to 10 square feet of outdoor run space per bird. Each plan lists its recommended flock size, so you can match the design to the hens you have today and leave room to grow.

What You Get

Each plan is a digital PDF you can download right after checkout and print at home. The drawings show dimensions, framing, roof, doors, nesting boxes and run details, and the cut list tells you what to buy and how to cut it. No physical coop or materials are shipped.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which coop size should I choose? Start with your flock size, then add space for a few more birds. Walk-in coops are easier to clean and maintain, while raised coops save space and keep the floor dry.
