I'll be upfront. This book is fine. But it offers only a little bit more than can be found for free on the BackyardChickens.com forum, and can be frustratingly inadequate at critical points.The design renderings dance on the edge of usability, but are small—making it difficult to see detail. A coop/run structure is complex enough that there really needed to be more detail views.Related, the lumber cut lists are superficially useful, until you realize they have no clear organization. If you were trying to follow along, you'd have to go through the list manually, sort by rough size, and then figure out the raw lumber you need. Plus, the lists are small JPEGs rather than text, making them needlessly difficult to read. They should be tabular text and organized by rough sizes so you can more easily understand what you need to buy.The descriptions by the builders are … fine. But also inadequate because just when you need detail, they get vague. The photos of the in-progress coops are the same. "Here's some wood." "Here's my chicken near a partly built structure." "Here I am drilling a screw into a 2x4." "Here are a few views into the finished coop where you can't actually see how I put it together." It's especially annoying with those where they start out with some nice photos of laying out the frame and prepping the ground, and you think, "Okay, now I will see how it's done." Then, suddenly, the photos jump to 10 steps later and the description says something like, "Then we put it all together." That's when you throw your Kindle across the room.If you're an experienced carpenter, this is probably not a problem. But if you're the kind of person without a lot of experience but do have a few skills and a willingness to try your hand at something challenging, this book will get you just far enough to feel frustrated, but not far enough to actually get the job done.

    Great Book for those who are Construction challanged
  

*by E***G on Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2012*

This is a great book for those who are building their own coop and plan to do so in a conventional manner.  Many choices of size and shape with construction details and bill of materials are given.  In my case, the purpose of this purchase was to generate some ideas for my own coop that I need to build, and that it did, though I'm not sure there was any unique idea that could not be found on the Internet.  The chicken tractor I am building is using PVC pipe and fittings for the framework so as to be very light yet strong, and there was no example in this book that could help me with PVC and the unique structural characteristics that PVC brings.  My design is incorporating a solar powered motor to move the tractor slowly throughout the day, along with a solar powered door to open at dawn and close at dusk.  I am also incorporating a feeder and waterer that can be serviced from outside the coop.  My ideas are a little "outside the box" I know, but for me as a retired engineer, that is part of my fun.  This book offered little in "outside the box" thinking yet still was able to generate some ideas for my coop.
