I converted a lean-to (shack) into a chicken coop. The coop is approx 5′ x 9′. I have a book called “back to basics” that we got at a garage sale. It had some guide lines and measurements that I utilized. I used mainly old plywood and wood we had laying around so I didn’t have to buy much wood. The hens will be six months old in a couple of weeks, and that’s about the time they start laying eggs. We got 4 – Rhode Island Reds (brown eggs), 2 – Buff Orphingtons (brown eggs), and 4 – Americanas (blue or green eggs)

I was seeing some broken eggs in the coop, thought it was the chickens. Then I went out one evening after dark, looked in the window with a flashlight, and saw a skunk in there chowing down. I left it alone, but the next day I built a little hatch to close between the coop and the run. Now I just have to go out and close it each night and open it in the morning. I’m getting 7-9 eggs per day though! We can’t eat em all, so I’m giving a lot of eggs away.
