Hey everyone....
I have been searching and looking at different models of chicken coops. Some are very basic, while others go all out and really build elaborate structures.
I am wondering about the placement of a window behind the roost. Do the chickens face the wall, or face out at the interior of the coop. Would they feel 'threatened' with their backs exposed to the window, if there were to be another animal, or predator, lurking around outside. It seems the idea of them inside the coop at night is to sleep and they would perhaps prefer no windows at all. Are these windows in the coops for our own aesthetics..???
Haven't built my coop yet as I don't have my flock as yet.....just want to do the right thing for them....right from the start..!!
Hope this doesn't make it to the dumbest question on BYC....lol
Cheers
