I was determined to build my own chicken coop and not to use a kit from a farm store or online since they are expensive and of lesser quality than what I wanted. If you watched Wranglerstar build his chicken coop, you will probably recognize my chicken coop design. I didn’t set out to build the same one on purpose, but when I found the detailed plans to build this coop, it was hard to resist. The plans were EXTREMELY helpful to keep me on task and organized. I would have easily wasted $17 (or more!) worth of materials trying to figure it out on my own, so I think the $17 for the plans is a wise investment for someone who is not an experienced builder.

You can build your own backyard chicken coop or homestead chicken coop for your laying hens, and do it with much higher quality for less than what it costs to purchase a kit from a farm store or online.

My chickens seem to really like the coop, and I have not had any major issues with it so far. It certainly isn’t a million-dollar coop, but it is far beyond what a chicken actually needs. It looks nice and will look good in your back yard if you are looking to build a backyard coop or just add a nice-looking coop to your farm or homestead.

2020 really was “the year of the chicken” as many people went out in search of chicks or juvenile hens to add to their homestead or backyard to help them become more self-sufficient. Also, I think people just had more time for projects like these during the pandemic or stay at home orders (a.k.a. quarantine).
