I don't have double roosts ( not sure that's what one would call it) but I would guess at least a foot apart :confused: You don't want the birds on the front roost to be touching the birds on the back one.

Excellent job!

IT'S PERFECT!!! :woot

I would say to put the hardware cloth up as high as you can! lol I think two feet would be good though. You are bending it out at the bottom to make an apron right? The roosts can go where ever you want them..just higher than the nest boxes for sure. I would put the roost somewhere were I...

Are you doing something with the outside area now too?

Good job!!! I can't wait to see it finished with birds!!

There are a million good ideas here Chicken Coops , spend a few minutes looking through some of those articles.

See how aart's texting boxes are? You could make some like that in-between the two studs on the chain link wall so you could collect eggs with out even having to go inside! :celebrate

Are you standing in a door way here taking this picture or is the an opening that is always open?

Keep the nest boxes lower for sure. Then they won't want to sleep in them. Block of the top of the nest boxes too so they don't sit on top of them and poop! Is this sectioned off side attached to that outdoor covered area?

On the new wood floor you may want to buy a little bit of a roll of linoleum flooring to glue down on top of the wood.

This is so fun! So you want to make just that sectioned off side their coop? Or the whole building? You could make a roost bar up high with just a couple of nest boxes just below and the poop board on top of the nest boxes!

I'm not a fan of sand either. Can you get pics of the inside? I would for sure make a poop board for easy cleaning. The floor...I prefer dirt floor/deep litter method. It is so much easier. What I am not sure about is if it is possible on top of the already wood floor.

Do it! Then you can free range them out there in the current run when you are able to hang out and watch them! Just build that area secure! Hardware cloth it well!

Have you thought about making that rain sheltered area a SECURE run for now?

The 'run' ground looks fine the way it is. What does the inside of the building have for flooring?
