How to Design & Build an Urban Chicken Coop + Plans
Channel: Josh Miles
Date: 2021-09-03

In early 2020 I had this crazy idea to build a chicken coop that felt modern and contemporary, for my small, urban backyard. I would design it in Adobe Illustrator, with very little carpentry experience. Could I do it? Would it work? I started recording this journey of May of 2020. 

This is the story of building the coop, and raising chickens for eggs.
