I built our 6x8 coop on an old wagon axle with the floor at wagon deck height and removable chicken wire sides that enclose the ground underneath the coop. The chickens go down on the ground during the day and at night they come back up through a hatch in the floor and roost and I close the hatch to keep out predators. This way the coop can be moved every couple of days onto fresh ground. The coop ceiling is only about 3' high, but the chickens don't need much headroom and because the floor is up so high it is pretty easy to reach in and clean the coop and feed them and such. I can take photos if you'd like to see how it works. In the winter we put them in a small coop with insulation to keep them warm and bigger windows for more light. Zach
