How to build a chicken coop for 6 baby chicks?

We put them in a dog carrier for now, but they need to be outside when the weather warms some.

1. Six chicks will eventually become Six chickens. I built a coop myself, for 6 chickens, and I will post some photos. I made the front wall and the roof removable for cleaning. The floor is removable for cleaning too, but also so that ONE man can stand inside the coop and carry it from one location to another. HERE are 12 photos, but they are in reverse order from finish,,, to start. The removable roof is not shown here, sorry.

2. Plastic milk crate will do it.
3. for 6 chicks, i would suggest 3 feet in height and 5-6 feet wide so that when your chicks grew, they'll have more space.. i hope this hleps
