The dog kennel is 7 1/2' x 13' and the coop is 7 1/2' x 4 1/2'. we left ours open (3 sided) because we live in a very warm climate where it gets up to 115 in the summer and rarely gets below 32 degrees in the winter. you could easily add a fully enclosed coop to a dog kennel also.. I had lots of comments on your chain link chicken coop. that's what i used, too. i bought the top, have tarps on all sides, that i can bungie up from the bottom on 2 sides when it's hot weather. i also have 2 dog kennels inside, that i lock my chickens in at night. i have roosts that fit in the holes on the sides of the dog kennels.. My first chicken house was the dog house left at this rental.i also constructed a run out of recycled wire and posts. the worst of it all was getting inside the thing to clean it out! and im not handy enough to make a door..
