My wife and I will be adding chickens to our animal repetoire soon, and I'm getting ready to build a coop for them. I have: rudimentary woodworking skills, friends who are willing and able to help out, access to a full wood shop and tools (including nail gun) through work, a big ole pile of wolfordized (is that how you spell it? The fancy pressure treated stuff) 4"x4"x8' lumber, and a burning hatred of carpentry. I loathe it, and if it was practical I'd weld the damn thing up instead.
So, I'm looking for some basic, easy to follow plans for a coop large enough to hold 4-5 chickens, ideally modular for future expansion, that will withstand the cold and damp PNW weather. Anyone have any advice?
