Herb Garden Chicken Coop

Another Green Roof Chicken Coop production is the Herb Garden Chicken Coop. The plans cost the same as the original Green Roof Chicken Coop ($34.95). This chicken coop holds four large chickens or six smaller chickens. The chicken coop run is attached, there’s a hen house and a nest. The top of the nest is removable for easy access to eggs. We didn’t see a roost include as part of the instructions for the herb garden chicken coop. However, a roost is an easy addition to any chicken coop with some 2x2’s, a wood pole and a drill bit (the same size as the wood pole). We recommend a ¾” pole and even a 1” pole for larger chicken houses. In the case of the Herb Garden Coop, you could easily use a ¾” pole or even ¾” PVC pipe. Overall, we like the look of the stained chicken coop in this design. Certainly, you could paint it as well. Some people paint their chicken coops all kinds of colors to match their favorite sports teams or their outdoor décor. How you paint or stain these chicken coops is completely up to you! The cost to build this chicken coop is around $300 (including wood, hardware, the pond liner and chicken wire). You could use plastic bags instead of pond liner which would save a little money.
