Pinterest and Google are your best bets. Here are a couple links to get you started! Love chickens, great pets and eggs are a bonus! Make sure they have room to roam and still be protected from preditors.

You'll need a construct of at least 2 square feet per bird if they're only in at night. If they're confined during the day, you may want at least four feet per bird.
If you want to save money, consider using recycled/scrap materials. Some people disassemble free pallets to build their coops.
here are some plans for you: https://morningchores.com/chicken-coop-plans/
I would Google search DIY Chicken Houses
Make sure those pallets are food grade, and not toxic. https://diyprojects.com/standard-pallet-size/ look at bottom of page for logos
We built ourselves a log house for our chickens .... You can get a permit from Forestry Service for $5 to harvest logs on public land. Just get the ones that are 6"-8" around, easier to haul and notch. If you get them lodgepole pine is great, real strain, few branches and grow really tall. The real thin ones make a great roof.

Here is a simple mobile coop concept then just add a nesting box to the end of it. You can add up to three roosting bars on the interior. http://www.gardenupgreen.com/2015/03/diy-mobile-chicken-coop.html
We used pallets for the exterior walls. Stuffed them with foam for insulation and found used plywood sheets for the interior walls. We eventually covered the exterior with T111. For nesting boxes, you can try cheap plastic tubs from the Dollar Store.
