In the Brooder
Well, we spaced the walls/trim & the roof so that there's about an inch or so on all sides for ventilation. Plus, then there's overhang of the roof and front (over the run) and the back, as well as the opening on the top, where the tin cap goes over the roofing pieces. We've already discussed that if we needed to add a fan at some point, we could do it. The inside is simple, just access to the nesting boxes & then a large roosting ladder, which will give them plenty of space.
I'm fortunate that my fiancé is a welder, his father is a machinist & a good family friend is a union tradesman. So, between the 3 of them, they've put together a fantastic coop/run. I pitched my vision & they made it happen. I helped out where/when I could but I also didn't want there to be too many cooks in the kitchen.
