 Waisted my money ( rwblackwood )
The information is good but it was the same stuff found in Damerow's other book about raising chickens. If you just want ideas for building a pen this will help. But if you already have her other book then you already have this info as well. Thanks for your time.

 Building Coops
All of this information in this handout is already contained within the book, "Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens." It is simply a few chapters of the book printed seperately.

 Good Info
Lot's of good information, but the booklet is basically an excerpt from "Story's Guide to Raising Chickens" If you have that title, which you certainly SHOULD have, then this one is just taking up space on the shelf.

Buy the book not this word for word exerpt ( mouse29 )
First I would like to say that the information in this pamphlet is useful, and in and of it self is worth the price if you know WHAT YOUR GETTING... This is a word for word copy (and I do mean word for word) of the "Housing" section in "Storey's Guide To Raising Chickens" By Gail Damerow. The book is well worth the money for all the information (outside of this chicken coop section) in it. You can pick up the book between 10 and 15 dollars (and it's worth every penny). Most people I have talked with (and some of the reviews below) stated they just ended up buying the book.
Next thing to consider is that this is not a chicken coop construction manual. There are really no plans in it (just ideas). If your looking for chicken coop designs with plans I would suggest "Poultry House Construction" By Michael Roberts. It has 8 or 9 coop PLANS with black and white photos to show you what it will look like. Mr. Roberts book also gives you nesting box plans, broody coops, and much more in under a hundred pages. I think the book was only $11.00 american dollars.
In closing do buy "Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens" By Gail Damerow, and do buy "Poultry House Construction" By Micheal Roberts. I just can't in good faith tell you to buy this pamphlet given you will probably end up buying another book because the pamphlet really needs the rest of the book to be useful.

 Great pamphlet ( dickgaines )
I have several books on this subject, but this little pamphlet beats them all. It's precise and to the point. I loved it.
