    This shows you everything you need and the exact steps you need to take to build a small backyard chicken coop for your 2 chickens (and any more in the future!).

  3. Well i’m no expert at making chicken coops but for 2 chickens should be small enough for your backyard 🙂

    For my coop I made with some help I got a lot of plywood, etc.
    and placed 2 perches on each side.

    The smallest for 2 chickens should probably be 3×4 feet 😛
    good luck!
