Chook Me!

Any one got a good basic chicken coop design for 5 chickens?

I would like 5 chickens, and don't know how to design a good chicken coop for them. Any Ideas?

1. This link is awesome. Copy and paste it and scroll down until you see chicken coop designs. I personally like the chicken tractors. :) http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/BRKPoultryPage.html
2. You can get a small garden shed from Lowes/Home Depot and put in 12" x 12" nesting boxes. I think that is the cheapest, easiest and prettiest way to do it. You could build a 3' x 6' x 6' frame, but make one wall higher so you could slope the roof. Then put in a human door, dog door, 12" x 12" nesting boxes.
3. This site has an ebook on how to build your own chicken coop. There are lots of designs and they vary in skill level. My husband has almost finished building me a new hen house and I can't wait to have chickens again.
4. Hey it's really not that hard to build a chicken coop for 5 chickens. But if you are finding it difficult, check out the guides on the website I've listed below. http://bit.ly/df0XPT
