I am looking for a plan (free :) ) for a small chicken coop. I live inthe city and plan to keep 3-4 chickens for eggs. Not good at designing etc. Anyone have some ideas?

I tried chicken tractors and liked them. They have no bottom and can be moved to fresh grass. The girls love them.
You'll need easy access for food water and nest box.
Good Luck!
I just finished a catawba coop with plans I purchased ~$20. If you are a Amazon premium person you can borrow the kindle version of the plans for free from Amazon. You can't print out or see all of the details in the kindle version. I finished building it in three days (One weekend day over three weeks). On the other hand it is a bit of a pain and could be better. On the other hand, it works, plans are almost perfect, my coop is set up in the back yard right now, there are eight chickens in it and my 10-year old and wife are the one's moving it around at night to a fresh area.
The "ana-white" site had a 4'x8' A frame coop that looks simpler. Looks not as robust. Cheaper. Free plans.
The english magazine Woodworking Plans and Projects, May 2012 has plans for a 4x4 chicken coop, english style (think of the coop in the movie Chicken Run). It's cute and holds promise. If I craigs-list a large outdoor dog kennel I may build a few of these rather than the A frame I just finished. I would build them light enough to move around with hinges on one side of the roof for easy cleaning and cover the floor with laminate. The english plans have a facebook page. Search facebook for "bosch professional power tools uk" and click on Build it with Bosch
First two are where my chickens live and the tractor is one I built for customer and has used it for couple yrs.Dont take much brain power to house chickens and surely don't spend 20.00 to build a box with wire fencing,as far as wheels look on craigslist for free high wheeler lawnmower and than you save 20,00 just for wheels

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…

Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction. I have considerable experience with conventional…
