Well, we are almost completely done with the coop! It always seems your trying to make everything absolutely perfect for chickens lol.
We have locking hinges on the nesting boxs, and doors. Also there is 1 inch venting under singles all the way around coop. That is also true for nesting boxs.
So one question that I am having. The inside is 8x4. How much roost in space do they need? I was going to put a 2x 3foot bars with a plastic tote under them against the back wall. I was not planning on putting food or water in the coop. ( not sure if that's ok, heard they don't have to have water/feed over night)
Will that be sufficient roosting room for 10 birds.?
With all the 1 inch ventilation plus these gable venting, is that going to be enough ventilation? The gable venting is on both sides
And my last question. How much room does each nesting box need for a chicken. I need to partition off the best box into smaller sections and want to get my dimension correct. Sorry for any typos or blocky paragraphs, types all of this on my iPhone. Thanks in advance
