3×5 Small Chicken Coop & Run Plans For 6 Chickens

Chicken rearing must not be a complex task. You can make everything simple by just constructing a simple and compact coop to keep your chicken safe. The 3×5 chicken coop is among the many small coops you can install in your limited backyard. The 15 square feet area can accommodate 6 chickens without any congestion problems.

This coop is designed to remain firm over time with pressure-treated wood and strong poles. At the front side, there are two hinged doors that open wide to allow easy access in and out of the coop. Below the doors is a litter tray that can be opened from outside to collect dirt that might have accumulated. A nesting box behind the coop has a small door that makes egg collection easier. A window on the left helps illumination and draws cool and fresh air to the hutch space.

The hutch measures 2’3″x2’9″ leaving the extra space for a run. The run has a door that is opened to allow chicken in and out. You can move your chicken to this space during the day so they feed and play, then bring them back to the enclosed space for the night. Since the run has no roof, you will need to be careful with weather changes.

Painting the wooden compartments and the roof can help at h the chicken coop to other structures in your backyard.
