Sorry, wrote this tired. Definitely pivoting. Cleaning out my coop isn't too bad with a lifting perch. I bring a 2 foot squeegee broom and it takes 5 minutes to clean out.

Hey, I am redesigning the inside of my coop. Moving the perches around and the nesting box. I am wanting to make the perches to where the side of the floor raises up to the ceiling to make for easy cleaning. How can I attach it to the studs on the wall so that it can pivot to the ceiling? Has...

That is perfect. Thank you so much for the help.

I think we are on two different paths here. I am talking like a 3 sided structure to keep them out of the rain. Small, for a couple small chickens.

I have tried integrating and it seems like my chicks always get picked on. My run is secure so I am just needing something small and cheap that I can keep them in. I can build things.

First, thanks for the replies. I have some 7 week old chicks that are ready to be outside in the run. I have put up a temporary fence from the rest of the flock but am needing some ideas on a cheap, temporary coop. Has anyone made a cheap one real quick? If so, what did you do? I am just needing...

Those are great ideas. I will get out there and measure today. Thanks again.

I am wanting to do something similar but I am wanting to do more. I started off with just a couple chickens and now I have 25. So, I am wanting to go from 1 or 2 boxes to at least 5 or 6.

How would I go about adding an external egg box to my coop. I originally built one and just put it inside but now I am wanting to access it from the outside.

I have a future garden area that I am wanting my chickens to till up and do some pooping in. It is about 30 yard away from the actual pen area. Getting them out there will be a little bit of a hassle. I am wanting everyone's advice on how long I should leave them out there for the day. I have a...

Great suggestion, Hokum Coco.

I usually just throw food in the coop for them to eat. Never tried to motivate them to do anything. I have some that run up to me and some that run away. Doing it in the evening is great idea. Are they pretty good about finding their way back home?

I would prefer to move in mass which would be the easiest way possible. I have never let them out of the run area so I don't know if they would just run for the hills or if they would follow me.

My coop is about 30 yards away from my garden. I am wanting to move the chickens to the fenced off garden area during the day and then move them back at the end of the day. What is going to be the easiest way to move the chickens to the garden area for the day and then back at night?

I have had my chicken in the coop with the door shut for almost a week now. The chicks are about 5 weeks old. How long should I keep them in there without opening the door?

I have some bisquick left over from this morning, can I feed that to my 1 month old chicks?

Does anyone know where to find pine shavings in bulk?

Either way would work well as far as protecting against predators. I was thinking along the same line, inside would protect it against the element so it would last longer but it could also have a hard time opening if a chicken was in its way.

I bought a automatic chicken coop door and am wondering if most people mount it on the outside or inside of the coop. Thanks for the help.

I have my chicken coop built and am still needing to build a door for me to get into the coop. The opening is 30" wide by about 6 foot high. Any idea what the best way to build it so it is sturdy?
