Chicken Coop Design and Housing

A Complete Guide to Chicken Coop Design and Housing is a practical guide for anyone who wants to plan, build, buy, or improve a safe and comfortable home for backyard chickens. This book focuses on one of the most important parts of successful chicken keeping: creating a coop and run that protects the flock, supports healthy behavior, prevents disease, and makes daily care easier.

Designed for beginners, backyard chicken keepers, homesteaders, and small-scale flock owners, this guide explains every major part of chicken housing — from choosing the right location and calculating space requirements to building materials, ventilation, roosts, nesting boxes, predator-proofing, winter management, and essential equipment.
