[QUOTE="mnmtranching, post: 513950, member: 3937"] Tom, How many chickens, and are they going to be hens or for eating? For a henhouse, say 25 birds. A 12x12 or 8x16 something like that would work well. A simple shed roof is nice with the high part and windows and screens to the South. Start the chicks in their house and let them get attached to it :D After a while they will like to roost, have a couple high roosts for them and maybe one lower for them to start on, they will eventually go as high as they can. Have a half dozen nest so they don't need to crowd when layin. Have the nests lower then the roosts so the don't roost in the nests. After a while open the door, let them venture out on their own. They will return late in the day to the coop. :D [/QUOTE]
