    Polycarbonate shed retrofit for coop

    Yes yes! I based my original scales to meet these requirements. To answer your questions: The tractor will be an all in one. It will be their coop and pen. I might be able to fence off an area in the future but for now, it must be all contained. My yard is pretty level all things considered...

    Polycarbonate shed retrofit for coop

    I like a lot of those but based on the advice given before, a lot of them appear to be very under ventilated or too small for about 10 hens. I suppose I'm looking for suggestions because I'm seeing a lot of conflicting info 😥 And no, I live near a major road and my neighborhood has a bit cat...

    Polycarbonate shed retrofit for coop

    I certainly don't mind going back to the drawing board for a solid coop that will last a long while. The only things I really require are the following: Mobile/tractor style Simple to intermediate in difficulty to build 10-12 hen capacity (though we only plan on having 6) If y'all have some...

    How do YOU store your eggs?

    Ohh ok gotcha. I suppose I was under the impression that a salmonella contamination came from an exterior source, not with the laying hen. I will definitely do some research on this, thank you!

    Polycarbonate shed retrofit for coop

    Gotcha! Unfortunately, I think I'm tied to the A-frame design with my current material being those large panels. I'll go back to the drawing board with a more complete model using your suggestions :3 thank you!

    Polycarbonate shed retrofit for coop

    Can I get your opinion on this design's ventilation? This model still has a way to go but I'm using it so I don't make these mistakes in the large scale (model is exactly 1:8th scale of all of the materials I plan on using or have on hand, the standee is exactly my height in 1:8th scale as well-...

    How do YOU store your eggs?

    So I think I know the basics (and I mean very basic) methods for storing eggs. To wash or not to wash? I think a lot of people ask that question. Do you store yours in the fridge? On the counter? In a little basket? In a jar? I want to know what has worked best for you and why! As an...

    Any artists out there?

    Saaaasme. I have a friend who has a resin printer so I paid for his services. I don't need another gadget in the work room 🫣

    Polycarbonate shed retrofit for coop

    We plan on having 6-8 hens but I want a coop and run that can accommodate a minimum of 12 while still being easy to move around (Another reason I love these panels cause they're SUPER light.) I planning on building my frame out with cheaper timber, likely fence planks/pallet wood and putting in...

    Any artists out there?

    Here's some stuff I've done recently! The bear was a drawing from another artist that I created in 3D software, resin printed and painted. The gecko is on the same track :3

    Polycarbonate shed retrofit for coop

    Oh goodness, thank you so much for this wealth of knowledge! This is exactly the kind of stuff I want to know before building my coop and run. I too reside in the steamy south and man, it's been steamy these past few weeks. I'll get to building a design using the elements you showed in your...

    Polycarbonate shed retrofit for coop

    Hi everyone! I think I got SUPER lucky the other day when the storms brew through GA. The wind picked up and blew away one of Home Depot's model sheds and I was the first to pick it clean (with permission of course). I was able to salvage all of the polycarbonate panels, roof tiles, two fully...

    Hello chicken havers!

    I am very new to chicken keeping but I've been doing a ton of research on coops lately so that we can be prepared to get some chicks next spring! I'm a big DIYer and consider myself pretty handy. My hobbies are vast but all center around creating things, fixing things and visual artistry in...
