Ron & Roxie's Coop
We used plans for an 8x8 saltbox. Egg collecting can
be accessed from outside as well as inside. Feeder and
waterer are on slideable boards (my husband's idea) so
that we don't have to actually go inside coop. Coop can
be accessed by wire door attached with hooks for easy
cleaning.
We let our roosters free range and then at night they
jump up on roost right inside door for safety but cannot
get to hens. Electric box and light switch are mounted
above the doors inside. We have 6 Buff Orphingtons and
6 Golden Comets with 2 Buff Roosters named Tony and Jeff
after our favorite Nascar drivers!
Plan to add small 4x8 deck onto the front of coop as
well as a flower box under south widow for added decoration.
Hens are very happy and producing 8-10 eggs a day now!
If anyone would have questions please feel free to Email
us!
