Hi everyone! Newbie here looking for a coop. I will be getting 3 bantam chickens, as allowed by law in my area, and so I dont need anything too big bc I worry about keeping it warm in winter. I just placed an order for Backyard all-cedar playhouse
It is 42 inches by 47 inches.
I need directions on how to add a nesting area in the window. (materials? readymade?) the window size is 21 x 19 roughly)
The other window will be the door, so I need directions for a door mechanism please.
I can add HC to the top two openings for ventilation.
Lastly I dont know what to do with the half door. Should I make a large door over the small one? Should I not add the small one and just make a full size one? Can I buy a ready made door? would a vinyl plank or vinyl shutters work?
Oh also, what base do you all add? HC in addition to plywood? I wanted to cover it all with a thick rubber mat cut to size.
Thanks for all your help! I was torn between cedar or plastic. But I love the hardiness and insect-repellant properties of this.
