I want to build an easy chicken coop, for fresh grass fed eggs, this weekend. I want it to hold 2 chickens at first, maybe more later, but not necessarily.
There are so many chicken coop building plans on the web; does anyone have any ideas about an easy starter one that can be built by a mildly handy person?
To raise them for eggs, you’ll need a couple of hens from your local farms. They’ll lay an egg a day, so 2 hens will keep you in eggs pretty well.
They’ll lay eggs their entire lives, but production does decrease as they age.
Keep the fencing around your hen house buried at least 12 inches to keep out burrowing predators.
I found some good chicken coop building plans with an easy design online. I built an a-frame design and wired up so I could keep a fan in it.

Rule #1: A chicken coop needs two doors. If it has four, it’ll be a sedan…..
