Title: Plans for Chicken House and run
Post by: rugbymad40 on March 02, 2007, 14:39

Does anyone know where I can get plans to build a modest chicken house and run?  The purpose built ones just don't push all the required buttons!
The space we have available is 96sq.ft. and the features we are after include internal nest boxes, easy access, security, raised hen house, cover run, height in run for human access, etc . . .

We have also looked at solar powered lighting for the darker months.  Has anyone had experience of these products and know their reliability.

Once again we look forward to your informed response.
