    coop remodel and ventilation

    Thanks. The kids have already learned, when I took them out most days to romp in the cage (3'x4'x 20"H) and when we wanted to leave home at 4-5pm...ugh...they squawked "it's not time yet". :D

    coop remodel and ventilation

    I did reply to mowin that the size is only 14" ish at the tallest point and going down to 3.5" over only a 4' length. This will still not be enough ventilation. I may do both ends (have to check the support wood first) and do the vents/windows on the back. I have to have a way to close the...

    coop remodel and ventilation

    Thanks. We enclose the chickens in the coop before sundown. The coop floor is wood with a solid sheet of linoleum over it. We will probably put hc or something around the sides and into the ground. In our area we have raccoons, opossums (not the last 2 years, thank God, but know they are around)...

    coop remodel and ventilation

    I may put three vents/windows on the back wall, a little higher than the windows. With the size of the windows and the additions, we should be about 6 sq' of ventilation. We'll probably have 8-10 chickens...so I will need to make the back vents/windows larger. As it can get very cold, I want...

    coop remodel and ventilation

    The area at the tallest point is 14" and then 4.3' across/later, it's 3.5"T. I'm still thinking of what we'll do. I can open up the top of the back but it would only be 4.5"H x 8'L. I cannot do it on the front due to the windows. I may put three 1'x1' vents/window high on the back wall...still...

    coop remodel and ventilation

    Excuse my ignorance, what do you mean by remove the siding piece? We were going to cut the part above the 2x4 and put hc there on both sides.

    coop remodel and ventilation

    I was thinking of taking out the bottom 3 boxes. We have to fix a block for the guillotine door as I could get my fingernail under it and lift. I'm blocking it with the slant board/panel and concrete block. We also have a solar motion light for now. It was possible for a chick to get under the...

    coop remodel and ventilation

    We purchased this coop and it came with enough wire fence to make the run. The coop is 4'w x 8'L x 8'H with 2 small windows (it had curtains :) ), a small exit door and needed to be cleaned/remodeled. We took the slant board off above the nest boxes and glad we checked as there was an opening...
