You’re probably a novice to raising chickens and want to construct your own chicken coop on your own if you stumbled across this article. I didn’t decide to build my own.
That’s fantastic! Building a chicken coop isn’t that difficult for most people with basic carpentry abilities.
You just need a detailed plan to build one.
If you haven’t built anything like this before, this is extremely important.
On the internet, there are several free chicken coop designs. In reality, more than 3,000 of them have been submitted by the members of BackyardChicken (one of the biggest online chicken owner groups).
Yet, the difficulty is that not all of them are suitable to follow.
When I was looking through the collection a few weeks ago, just 10% of the 3,000 ideas were feasible for novices to build. They are generally too difficult to construct or do not include precise blueprints.
That’s why I wrote this post.
So that YOU too can build it yourself, I compiled 61 of the most attractive, easiest to construct, or cheapest chicken coop plans available.
How to Build the Right Chicken Coop
It’s crucial to understand what defines a great chicken coop before we begin building the free plans. A coop isn’t just a place to keep your birds; it’s also their home. The coop’s happiness and healthiness have a huge impact on your chickens, much as it does on humans.
Before you construct one, it’s crucial to understand these things.
I’ll keep it brief, but clicking the link below will take you to the first free plan:
1. Decide the size of your coop
One chicken requires 3-4 square feet of coop space, according to a rough estimate. Therefore, a 12-square-foot coop (3×4, 6×2, or greater) is required if you want to have three.
You’ll need at least 10 feet each if you want to coop them all the time.
Your hens will not be content if the area is too tiny. Your chicken will be stressed out, they’ll start pecking each other, get sick, and die eventually because the coop will smell really bad.
While chickens must spend the majority of their time outside, you may provide less than 3 square feet per chicken.
You’ll only need 2 square feet instead of 4 for smaller bantam breeds.
2. Decide the location
When contemplating where to put your chicken coop, consider these things:
- Sunshine and shade – your flock needs natural sunlight, but not all day
- Wind is favorable, however avoid areas exposed to strong winds. Reason number 1 and 2 are frequently found under a tree.
- You’ll have to check the coop twice a day or more, making sure it’s readily accessible for humans.
- Smell and noise – don’t place the coop too close to your house, or your neighbor’s
Pro tip: Make sure there isn’t a major problem in the area for at least one week before deciding on a location.
3. Plan the coop
There are things on the inside (and outside) of your coop to keep your hens alive and healthy, not just a wall and roof to protect them. Here are a few things to keep in mind when planning.
Must-haves:
- Nesting box – this is where your hens will lay their eggs. You need to have at least 1 box per 2 hens with the size of 12x12x12 inches and about 10-20 inches above the ground
- Windows/ventilation – your chicken will get sick easily if there’s no light and proper ventilation
- Feeder and waterer – for obvious reasons
Nice-to-haves:
- Perch area – chickens love to sleep on perch
- The run – in the addition to the shelter, an outdoor fenced area is important to keep your chickens happy
- Dust bath box – chickens need to clean themselves with dust to stay healthy
- Poop boards – place it below perching area, it’ll save you a lot of time cleaning the coop
- Lighting – in the winter, warm lights can boost egg production
That’s the fundamental, but not the whole story. Otherwise, the entire page would become too long if I went into too much detail in this article.
You’re now ready to construct a chicken coop, so that’s all you need to know.
61 Free Chicken Coop Plans:
1. Urban Chicken Coop
If you don’t have a huge yard or if you’re raising just a few chickens, this raised chicken coop is ideal for you.

4. The South City Coop
This is Rick’s first big construction project, and you’ll have to believe me when I tell you. You can do it if Rick does. Because the South City Coop is long on the sides rather than wide on the front, it is excellent if you don’t want your coop to take up much space. Lastly, there are so many windows and openings that you don’t have to concern about lighting or air flow.

Pallets are a free resource for homesteaders, and they can be used to make almost anything.

This one is distinctive in more ways than one. It’s free to construct (well, almost) and doesn’t take up a lot of space, even though it isn’t the most attractive-looking coop. Look at the picture; it’s vertically oriented, unlike the other ideas in this article. But, there is one thing you should know: Bantam breeds were the first to use this coop. You may, however, make it a bit wider if you prefer. And chickens shouldn’t be kept inside for the whole day.

14. Chicken Coop Plans by Home Depot
Home Depot is well-known for its expertise in home improvement, and there’s no way you don’t know who they are.

Difficulty : Easy
17. Permanent Hoop Coop
It has three advantages in using curvy roofing. First, it looks good. Second, it is efficient. Third, it is cost-effective. Heat transfer is the first step. In the winter, your coop will be warmer because the curved roof receives more direct sun rays than the flat roof. Second, in the event of strong winds, it’s considerably more sturdy. Building, laying the foundation, installing the roof, and finishing are all much simpler with this model.

Ideal Capacity : 9 chickens
Difficulty : Intermediate
20. Kevin’s Chicken Tractor
A chicken tractor is a portable hen coop that you can transport around your property when you don’t know yet. Instead of a permanent coop, why not build a portable one? This is due to two factors. Chickens are excellent for your garden because they produce natural fertilizer, eat pests and weeds, and give you extra eggs. Second, that region will become fetid if they remain there for too long.
Dimensions (feet) : 8 x 4 in total
Ideal Capacity : 4 chickens

21. The Kerr Center Chicken Tractor
The Kerr Center has another chicken tractor plan. The shelter is elevated from the ground, and it’s bigger than the previous one. You can use it as a permanent coop, despite the fact that it is a portable tractor.

23. Melissa’s DIY Chicken Coop
This isn’t the greatest out of the ones I’ve listed above, just by looking at the design. However, this one is the genuine DIY. Melissa erected (nearly) all of it by herself, with the help of his spouse only on the roof, despite having no construction experience at all. Anyway, there is a hinge on the roof of the picture, but I can’t include it. It has a handle that allows you to clean the inside without opening it.
Dimensions (feet) : 3.5 x 3.5
Ideal Capacity : 3 chickens
Difficulty : Easy
24. Large Chicken Coop Design
The shelter is 4×8 feet in size, with 8×12 overall dimensions. If you want to grow more than ten thick layers without them becoming uncomfortable, this is the perfect choice. I can picture myself being content to live here the rest of my days if I were a chicken.

25. Simplistic Chicken Coop

But what if you just want to raise 2 or 3 just to save a little money on eggs and meats? Building those large coops would be a huge waste. This Simplistic Chicken Coop is for you.

As long as you don’t put too many chickens in it, this coop has a large area and ventilation, so it’s acceptable to keep them indoors.

28. Downeast Thunder Farm Chicken Coop
Personally, this might be the one I build if I had to pick just one. The design isn’t overly complex, but it isn’t juvenile, either. I also like a rectangular coop rather than a square one, because it is more efficient. Outside, the hens will spend the majority of their time.

Ideal Capacity : 8 chickens

29. A-Frame Chicken Coop
Ana White has designed another chicken coop. It’s a portable chicken tractor this time. This design has the best weight-space ratio for a chicken tractor. Your chickens have plenty of vertical space, yet it isn’t too difficult to pick up and move.

30. Fox’s Log Cabin Chicken Coop
I’ve always thought log cottages are aesthetically appealing, to be honest. I don’t know, maybe because I’ve seen them in a lot of films and pictures.

34. Sunrise Chicks Chicken Coop
Up to 30 large breeds may be housed in this chicken coop. However, the guy who posted this didn’t have any experience before; it’s his first construction project, so he can do it.

Dimensions (feet) : ~8 sqft
Ideal Capacity : 2 chickens
Difficulty : Easy
39. The Mobile Stage Coach
This chicken tractor is what this chicken coop is called. As a result, it’s lightweight and may be moved around your yard looking for insects, which allows your birds to patrol.
If you aren’t sure how to construct your own coop, however, you may want to think about this choice since it comes precut. That will eliminate a lot of the effort required to construct.

40. The Poop Coop

41. The Picturesque Chicken Coop
In many ways, this chicken coop seems to be quite beautiful. It has a stunning color scheme that really brings life to the area where it sits.

This is something I’ve seen before, but it always fascinates me how people transform things they no longer utilize into something that works so well.

47. The Pallet Coop
This sturdy coop is built out of a collection of pallets, which would probably surprise you. It was, after all!

Dimensions (feet) : 5 x 5
Ideal Capacity : 6 chickens
Difficulty : Intermediate
48. Medium to Large Coop
You’ve probably discovered that finding chicken coop plans that are neither tiny nor overly huge is a bit difficult. For a few hens, everyone prefers a smaller coop; for a large farm, everyone prefers a bigger coop.
However, finding the appropriate coops may be difficult for those of us who raise about 20 birds. These designs are designed for a greater number of birds, so I hope you like them.
Dimensions (feet) : 8 x 10
Ideal Capacity : 20 chickens
Difficulty : Intermediate
49. The Tongue and Groove Coop
This coop is designed to hold roughly four hens and is smaller than the others. This coop would probably be suitable if you’re just keeping a few hens for eggs for your family.
However, because it is constructed from tongue and groove cedar, it is rather expensive to construct. The completed product, on the other hand, appears to be worth the money.
Dimensions (feet) : 4 x 5
Ideal Capacity : 5 chickens
Difficulty: Intermediate
50. The Custom Wood Chicken Coop
I really like the way this chicken coop looks. It seems very functional and clean in appearance.

51. From Playhouse to Hen House
Do you have an old playhouse that you’ve never gotten rid of? Don’t do it now, for the sake of argument.

52. The Simple Coop That Works
This is more of an idea of what you can do to build a chicken coop. They took a small shed and transformed it into a smaller coop.
From roosting bars to nesting boxes, it has everything your chickens could need. It also has a really pleasant appearance.
53. The Rustic/Whimsical Coop
The design of this coop is fantastic. It’s a snuggly coop that’s flush against the side of a home. Since there is no associated run, the hens are allowed to range freely.
However, you may always add one if you want. They also created a lovely rural home for the hens, with the exception of a rustic tin roof.
Dimensions (feet) : 4 x 4
Ideal Capacity : 4 chickens
Difficulty : Easy
54. The Well Protected Coop
Since there were no plans, this is another design meant more to inspire than to direct. You may construct the genuine coop if you can construct a tiny box with steps to it.
After that, all you have to do is build a large enclosure and install strong latches on the entrance so no predators can get inside.
55. The Raised Wooden Pallet Coop
Because this coop is constructed out of pallets, it couldn’t be too costly to construct. It is also well-designed, and it looks like a coop should perform as expected.
So if you’re looking for a coop that’s both functional and cheap, you may want to follow this guide and make one like this.
56. The Palace Redone
A palace chicken coop design can be found above. However, this palace is a bit different. To make it a charming design, they went above and beyond. As a result, if you want a immaculate looking chicken coop with personality, then you may want to explore how this chicken coop was completed.
57. Chicken Condo
This chicken coop is absolutely adorable. You may see how it is made by breaking the structure down for you. It should make the process a little less painful. However, this coop also features a run and plenty of nesting boxes. So if you’re looking for a coop that will attract attention, this is it.
58. Saltbox Coop
This chicken coop has a more masculine aesthetic than the chicken condo. It’s built of solid wood and includes the feature of being able to collect eggs without coming inside the coop. Nonetheless, you may also grow fresh herbs or lettuce for your birds on top of this coop, which has a lovely spot.
59. Chicken Coop with Planter
This is a scaled-down version of the previous coop. To enhance the coop’s appeal, it has also been painted. Despite its smaller size, the coop has enough room to expand fresh herbs and lettuce on top of the coop’s roof.
60. The Small Modern Coop
This tiny coop is an excellent addition to any yard. It would only fit a few chickens, but it would look good in a lot of little backyards. It’s also a plus that it allows you to cultivate crops directly on top of your coop. If you prefer a smaller, contemporary coop, this could be the one for you.
61. Steadfast’s Chicken Coop Condo
You might want to transform an old unused playhouse or swing set into a chicken coop if you have one. Steadfast, for example, utilized an outgrown swing set of his now-teenage daughter. The coop is 4×4, which means that it can only accommodate four birds. Yet, since the run area appears to be large, you may be able to house up to seven.
