A 16-page colour section shows detailed photos of many of the featured coop plans, as well as some amazing kits and one-of-a-kind coops built from recyclables.With its comprehensive building plans and chicken-laden stories, "Chicken Coops" is sure to inspire a sunny-side-up, no-yolks-barred attitude in all chicken owners who dream of building a bigger, better coop to house their flock.

whether it be small or large, metal or wood, single storey or seventy five (well not quite) but this book has plans for every type of chicken coop ever invented, and that wil probably ever be invented. Some of the plans are a little complicated, and not that easy to follow, but there is sure to be a chicken coop design suited for every one
