Nice! What holds them open?Sounds like a good system @little fuzzy.
Put a rear window in the coop today. Has glass to close for when it's cold in winter and a grill for all other times. Opens all the way for when I want to reach in for something. Pleased with how the back of the cooo has turned out.
Next thing to add is a raised box in the run full of soil and charcoal for the hens to jump up to and have a dust bath.
Hi @aart , the glass is held open the same way the as the coop/run window below. With another small block of wood and a screw through it attached to the roof behind the guttering.
I see what yo mean @aart , on rainy days I've been propping them open with the 2 pieces of scrap wood on the ledge. I was thinking that's what I'll do all winter too. Do you think that would be a good mix of draft prevention and ventilation? Or should I close up shop and rely on the minimal ventilation at the top and roof gaps into the run? Winter is coming.....
Hi @Howard E , these pullets are now 23wks and 2 days old. 2 of them have started doing "the squat" this week. Your Dec 10 prediction is going to be close!
