how do you build an average chicken coop?

My dad and i are trying to build a moderately sized coup and was wondering if you could help me out.

1. I would recommend chicken wire if you have it available.
2. Here are two sites http://www.buildeazy.com/chicken_coop_1.html http://ezinearticles.com/?How-to-Build-a-Chicken-Coop---6-Crucial-Elements-on-Building-a-Chicken-House&id=477219
3. If you are lucky enough to have a large shipping business near you that ships materials in large wood crates, you can call or go down the the business and either they give you a crate for free or hopefully they won't charge you much for say , a shipping crate about 6'x6'. then remove the top or door to the crate and that will leave you with 4 nice sides and a bottom, and then you can use chicken wire for the front of it. It would be easy enough to make a passage door on one of the sides of the crate. Hope this helps R O S C O ROSCoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
