Gorgeous coop! Good job & thank you for rescuing the roosters! I would love to have one like this, my hens would too! Would like to see blueprints, or details of dimensions/materials and time involved to improve rating...

I realize the following links are not .org or .edu! However, this is a good source for ALL the links in one place to the FDA testing & reports since the treat problems started in 2007, as well as government sources in other countries. All easy to access from one place...
