How to build a chicken coop?! I NEED HELP!!!! Blue Prints? Please!!!?

Hello there, I own 6 hens and 2 roosters. My parents said I need to start building them chicken coop. There still babies about 5 days old. But i want the chicken coop to me ready for them, when the time comes. So if you could please help? I need it to be cat, dog and fox proof. Small and about 4 feet off the ground. Thank you so so much! (:

1. You need to specify the breed of chicken, some are massive, others are small. What conditions do you live in: why do you need it off the ground? Are they hens and roosters (over a year old) or chicks (under 12 weeks)? My mother has chicken houses that are on the ground, and they are fox proof, dog proof, cat proof, pigeon proof. What size is the house allowed to get too? Do you want the house to move around? Do you want to have to lock them up at night and let them out in the day or would you prefer to be able to go out at night and forget about that? You need to specify!
