__CHICKEN COOP PROJECT__

(Click for Chicken Coop information sheets)


 * Your task:**

Design a chicken coop, with adequate space for __20 light chickens__, using the information given. Use the information on space requirements, ventilation, roosts and nests from the packet (Taken from __Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens__) to design the coop.

Remember to refer often to the Coop Design section on the first page to ensure that you have taken everything into consideration. The chickens will be free ranged so you do not need to have a covered area for the chickens to range.

You may use squared paper to draw your design. The design can be presented as a diagram and/or a sketch but you need to have measurements marked on your plan so that it can be built.

You will need to present your coop design to me or another teacher and be able to defend your design explaining how it will satisfactorily house the 20 chickens in a safe and humane way.
