Our 4 year old grandson came up with the name "The Chicken Barn", and after we started building it he started calling it "Nana & Papa's Chicken Barn", so the name stuck! We knew we wanted the coop floor to be 8’ x 6’ (width being 8’), elevated off the ground, exterior nesting boxes, and wanted it tall enough to walk into without being hunkered over. Other than that we winged it throughout the build, with help of that same 4 year old grandson!
