If you are getting chickens your going to need a good chicken coop design. This coop my dad and I built. We made three nesting boxes for three chickens. It is built with a pull up ramp plus a run on the bottom.

Step 1: Main structure including run, top level door, bottom level door, egg door and ramp opening

As in the picture, I have built the main structure out of ply wood and the rafters and beams can be made out of any inexpensive hard wood. Later on I stained the whole thing.

Awesome backyard coop!.Throw some wheels on that bad boy and it's perfect for a smaller backyard. I am going to add that to my list of Urban Chicken Coop plans
