We have had laying hens for the last 3 years, but so far we have not had a coop that was winterized enough to keep them all year. This year we wanted to build something that would allow us to do that and make the addition of a few pigs. Again budgetary constraints had us settle on an insulated 12x8ft building with power. The layout allowed for 44 sq.ft of pig space and 28 sq.ft of chicken space with 24 sq.ft left as food storage. Its a bit tight, but it will allow us to get our chickens to a mature weight and allow us to add pigs to our livestock inventory.
