Thanks, I checked it out. Nasty.

What in the world is bumble foot? I've never heard of such a thing. Doesn't sound good.

If you do another coop try a material called Duratemp. This is a Roseburg product and while it may look like T-111 it is much much better by far. You will notice that it paints very easily and suggested repainting is approx 5-7 years. The product itself carries a 30 year warranty.

I would say that the run here has much more presence than the coop itself. The run also appears to be puppy proofed. No doubt that keeps the dog busy. What gauge of wire do you use for the run? We use a vinyl coated wire here at Horizon.

This coop reminds me of a pull it coop that I have seen on a manufacturers website called a pull-it coop. I think it was Horizon Structures. You coop appears to be very predator proof. I like the storage underneath for food etc. I know you showed 9 birds i think in the photo but how many do you...

I have not seen such a paint job on a coop before. Very Gypsy I must say. Great idea for re-purposing a trailer. It looks well vented. How many birds can you keep comfortably? I have seen companies that install a glasbord floor. Is this something you did for easy cleaning? How about some...

That is a pretty Cool Coop. I may have missed where you were from but it looks like lots of ventilation.

Good to know. I had read also that the chickens would scratch and claw at the mixture of leaves etc to create the compost and then after a period of time that would go on to a garden Thanks

Nice coop. How many birds can go in there and how often do you have to change the bedding.

Cool Coop. It looks like a small version of one of our Horizon Structures/ Monitor Barns. Huge. How many birds?

what a very well documented coop. Interesting design and look. I agree, nothing like fresh eggs.We have Amish girls that come to our shop once a week with fresh eggs. Only 2 dollars a dozen.

very interesting but what does this have to do with chickens. Cats are cool

I had no idea this would be such a science to the design. Looks pretty cool. Anyone have any thoughts to a no floor method where the chickens do the composting with the droppings and leaf material?

It looks great. Is there any danger of poo from the poo board hitting the feeders. That could be a bit nasty.....
