1 Most plumbers charge a two-hour minimum or a service call fee of $75 -$150, and some plumbers bill a flat fee per job instead of an hourly rate. 2  Either away, exact costs will depend on the complexity and type of work done.
Inside a coop you will find the floor (which we cover with sawdust and straw) and a roosting/perching space. The actual chicken coop needs to be at least 3 square foot per chicken. So following on with our example of six chickens, the coop needs to be at least 18 square foot.his is where your chickens will sleep and you need to make sure that each chicken has 10 inches of perching space. So in our example you would need a roosting pole which is 60 inches long (5 foot).
The housing for your chickens can be as simple or fancy as your imagination and budget permit. The basic criteria will be dictated by the birds. 1  First, decide on the size. 2  You will need 2 square feet of floor space per chicken, and one nest box for every three hens.3  Nest boxes should be about a foot square. Plan to frame the coop with 2-by-4s and use sheets of plywood for the walls. 2  The roof can be a sheet of plywood covered with roof shingles or simply a piece of sheet metal. 3  A 5x20-foot run will keep a small flockâsix to eight hensâhappy. 4  More space is better if you have the room.
