Project Chicken Coop – Part I(one)

Well, This is my first attempt at a chicken coop. I only looked up pictures of other coops and figured the rest out through trial and error, there are no exact dimensions available other than that its 5 foot by 3 foot and the floorboard of the coop sits about 24 inches off the ground, though not a whole lot of room, the idea isn't to keep the cooped up in there long, its only a quick holding pen with a small door access.

How I derived my dimensions is by taking an 8 foot 2×4(couldn't get 12 10 footers in my Ford Focus) and cutting a 3 foot piece off the end and I'm left with a 5 foot piece which makes up the length of the structure. That way I could make the largest coop possible with the least amount of wood possible. Here's how day one turns out.
