    • Great resource!
This book about chicken coops provides everything you need to create your own style of coop for your own needs. It has city coops, urban coops, coops for 2 - 5 chickens and coops for a thousand. I enjoyed the focus on using recycled materials to create the coops and the well written summary for each design. We live on a farm and I found it just as useful if not more useful than the traditional coop building books . . . ... show more

    • Aside from the Misleading Word "Plans," a Great Little Book!
We just received our copy of Judy Pangman's book. I was hesitant about ordering it after reading the reviews, but because there were some good ones in the mix I figured I'd take a chance. While I agree that it lacks the formal plans that the title seems to promise, it does include photos, sketches and dimensions, and offers a lot of interesting ideas, often with diagrams, for a variety of poultry-keeping needs. Most people who raise poultry would not choose a chicken coop as their first carpentry project anyway, and the book assumes a certain level of expertise and of comfort with tools, materials, and knowledge of the ways that floors, walls, and rafters go together. We've built numerous sheds and outbuildings so we're comfortable melding concepts from several styles to tailor a coop - or any other structure - to our own needs. But we have lived on our place for many years, have a typical repository of building supplies, new and used, and this book is perfect for people like us. If the reader is in his or her twenties and lacks both the experience and the treasure trove of raw materials it might be a different story. Except for the confusion over the word "plans" in the title, which seems to have bothered a lot of readers, I would have awarded this five stars. ... show more

    • helpful but not exactly what I wanted
I would say that this book offers exactly what it is stating. I did not find the type of coop I have in mind, but there are several optimal choices in here and there are diagrams provided. I am very glad I purchased the book and would encourage the individual that is looking into ownership of a flock or just a few chickens, this book will offer choices in housing them. ... show more

    • Don't Waste Your Money! (like I did)
This book has to be the biggest disappointments in a "How To" book I have ever purchased. (Understatement) I honestly felt ripped off, and I've been buying online since it's inception. I have very little construction experience, but enough to follow a decently drawn plan, maybe even some poor ones. There were NO plans in this book. Maybe times have changed. But I wanted a book with ideas or plans for something basic, and ultimately efficient and applicable for housing an average backyard flock. This book offered none of the above. Material list? Not even. Nor I am not a fan of cutesy or fringe. I mean really, one plan was an 'egg-loo' constructed from straw bales. Another using the top of a truck bed topper. Have we become so unintelligent we need a book to tell us how to do this?! I think not. My only regret is I didn't post a BEWARE review sooner, and return this book for a full and immediate refund. Truthfully, I am surprised Storey even published it, much less attached their name to it. I have many of their books, but they have lost a customer after this. I would be ashamed. I won't even even donate it to the library. If you need a book on building a chicken coop, poultry house, or anything of this ilk, please, don't waste your money, much less your time. ... show more

    • some good ideas
the book included several ideas for design and layout. however the book was not very speclflc with plans and and/or construction info and materials. book assumes you have basic construction skills. not for someone looking for detailed plans for a coop.

    • Full of great information
I really appreciate this book. It has a coop for every situation. It is also full of great advice from people seasoned in poultry care. Even if you don't use a design from this book to build your coop you will have enough information to design a really good one if you read it. A worthwhile purchase.
