"I live in Tennessee, and have 5 cochin
bantam hens, one bantam Frizzle rooster, and three young standard
hens. I spent a lot of money having a little house made for
the bantam hens and rooster, so I got resourceful with the chicken
coop for the standard hens. I went to a sawmill and bought forty
dollars worth of rough sawn boards, and built a house to fit
some free cast off roof trusses, making it 4' x 8'. My husband
helped me assemble it, but I cut all of the wood myself. We
lined the inside with tar paper, and shingled the roof with
some leftover shingles."
