Chirping
Building a coop for my young flock. I used an old frame of a 10x10 shader(?) to create their run, I did that a few weeks ago, thinking the babies would stay small a bit longer (yeah, I'm new to this). Starting last week I have been taking my older 5 outside to the run during the day, they have been loving it. Ultimately they will be free ranging on 2 acres most of the time.
The coop frame is 4'x4', raised 1' off the ground, 5' tall on the high side of the roof, 3 nest boxes, and includes a pullout tray for easy cleaning. The roof will also swing off to aid in deep cleaning (at least that's the plan at the moment, might change tomorrow when I actually put it on).
I also plan on putting a number of 6" round windows, so I can adjust the circulation/ventilation a bit better. I live in a hot desert that has decently chilly winters so I have to be able to adjust it during the year.
Feedback welcome, this Is my first coop attempt, designed it myself.
More pics will come tomorrow!
