    If you have looked at my pics should I place nest box under the window or on the back wall? Another words should the nest be parallel with pop door or adjacent (side)?

    Lookin like a coop!

    No actually the whole reason I went with the CW was bc the coop will actually be inside a chain linked fence and the size (w) was exactly what I needed ...couldn't find the actual (w) size I needed in Hardware....Question tho what's pros and cons with sand floors? Inside hen house or run?
