When making a chicken coop in your backyard it is absolutely essential that you have a good idea about the dimensions well before hand. A rule of thumb that is often followed is that you should provide at least 4 square feet of space per bird so that they may live comfortably. Also remember that all the chicken coops are essentially designed around a poultry size.

The smallest you can get is a chicken tractor which is around 20 square feet in space and is apt for 2 to 4 chicken. The construction is called a “chicken tractor” primarily because it can be used to keep chicken in such a way that they can “work” on the grass and rid it of weed and bugs. This kind of a coop does not have any floors so that the chickens can easily reach the grass. It is also very open and is typically in an “A” shape and allows for plenty of air and sunshine. This construction is also mobile and can be moved around your backyard easily.

The next best thing you can get is a medium sized coop which is ideally suited for 6 to 8 birds. This, unlike the chicken tractor is stationary and can occupy up to 25 to 30 square feet of space. You need to carefully decide where to install it. A medium sized coop is also equipped with a nesting area and offers better protection against both the predators and the weather.

The best thing you can get however is the large sized coop. These occupy well over 40 square feet of space and are something like a glorified mediums sized coop offering more space but pretty much the same facilities. An added feature in this case is a chicken run which can be attached so that the chicken can roam around in a safe area.
