I used it for several months and my hens are still alive. The only reason i do not use it is I have found a better quality brand for cheaper at my local feed store. I would use it in a pinch if i was out of feed and the store was closed and TSC was open. I appreciate you asking those that...

this is the camera i have http://www.amazon.com/wirless-version-digital-remoter-software/dp/B0043PGY8U/ref=sr_1_15?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1336218703&sr=1-15 I'm very happy with the movement and quality. Set up can be a pain in the butt, but i do not think there are any 'plug n play'...

my coop is outside the run with a big enough door to walk into the coop. They do not RUN out the door but if left open a little they will nudge it open if i have not closed it behind me. I am going to put a screen door closer on it to solve my problem. They do the same thing with the door to...

I would have it overhang 6" give or take. The water then drips off the metal roof instead of rolling down the wood and causing rot later on.

looks great. With lots of coop space to expand if you should get more birds.

if you use the self taping screws with the rubber gasket you should not need to pre drill holes. I also see no problem with overlapping. Its not until you are doing HUGE areas that you need to worry about expanding and contracting of the metal.

your chickens may start nesting in her coop and hers in yours. Not the best situation for bio security or being neighborly.

I guess it all depends on the weather where u live. Do you normally get 20 plus winds? my first coop just sat on those pre cast deck supports for a year. I don't see how raising it two feet would make it top heavy enough to tumble over. If it was going to be on 4' stilts then i would be a bit...

I made mine 12 x 12 and yet I have one hen that likes the corner of the coop on the floor best....

most defiantly... But I'm not sure mulch is the best idea. The bedding wood chips found in most pet stores and farm stores is probably best. what are you going to use in the coop when they become big birds?
