4×6 Medium Chicken Coop Plans For 10 Chickens

A small yet functional chicken coop can be a great starting point if you are an aspiring chicken grower with a small backyard. Small enough to fit in even the most minuscule yards, this 4 x 6 DIY hen house is intricately designed to accommodate up to 10 chickens, which makes it an excellent option for beginners.

The coop is complete with a run, a hutch, and a nesting box, where each component is designed to be enough for the flock. The wire-meshed run is large enough to accommodate feeders and drinkers, plus it has enough room for the feathered friends to explore during the day. There is also a sturdy ramp to allow the birds to come down in the morning and get into the sanctuary in the evening.

Structurally, this coop is sound to provide a safe home for the flock — it utilises robust pressure-treated frames and is erected on a concrete foundation for performance and longevity. Sturdy perches line the interior to suit your chickens’ roosting nature.

The nesting boxes are big enough for your laying girls, and an access door is installed on the right side to allow for hassle-free egg collection. A window is included in the design to provide the light your birds need to maintain optimal egg production.

When it comes to cleaning, this coop has a drooping tray, which holds the droppings at night, making daily cleanup easier.

When painted, this coop can add interest to your backyard while providing a place your flock can call home.
