I dunno, I'm feeling the power of chicken math calling my name...😆 I guess it just seems like a good idea to maximize our capacity just in case. Never know what the future holds and it's better to have too much space as opposed to not enough, right? I just don't want to limit the park in any...

We do have a poop board, haha. A lot of replies seem to indicate it doesn't look like a poop board to many folks though. It's that slanted piece of wood behind the roosts. Poop drops onto it and either falls to the floor or we scrape it once every week or two and scoop up the dirty litter and...

Oh, I guess I just misunderstood your first reply. I thought you were saying to make a 2' wide vertical poop board and line the roosting bars up along the center. So put the nesting boxes under the roost with a horizontal poop board? I guess we'd have to put the roost pretty high then, we have...

Oh! I just read through the building of this coop linked by another poster. Very nice! I guess I was hoping you had a roost setup something like the one you were suggesting to me in your earlier reply, I was having trouble visualizing what you meant. I saw that you also asked how long the wall...

Aww, thank you for letting me know! I am so glad to hear that you all have enjoyed the history park, I know the museum works hard to make it a fun place for everyone. How funny that someone else on BYC has actually been to this park, haha. Small chicken world! I'll do my best! It will likely be...

Probably a no on the roof, haha. But I have been in there during and after heavy rain and there are no leaks that I've ever seen, it stays quite dry in there. I attached some photos of the roost bars at the bottom of my original post, but they are pretty darn thick. Most at least 4" if not...

Hello! I have been around BYC for a while, but for those who may not know, I volunteer with a history park that has a flock of chickens housed in a historic coop building pictured here (the coop is the building on the right): As you can see, these chickens are somewhat public access, so the...
