chicken coop
Im building a chicken coop for my 11 chickens with plans for maybe 20 total. I have built this approx 9 ft wide by 20 ft long, roof is 24ft/ overhangs. Im at the stage where I am wiring inside the walls for all my potential needs.
This coop has two room, the rear is the actual coop which is approx 9x10. the front is a room that will eventually house incubators on benches, a brooder for chicks ect. I hope to eventually breed chickens for both eggs and maybe some meat chickens as well.
I have numerous outlets in the front room and lighting ect for both the interior and exterior of this front room. My plans are to have either switched or timers/ lights on the coop side, a automatic chicken coop chicken door on a timer that I have from an older coop as a past home and something to help keep my water from freezing in the winter.
I am looking for other suggestions on items I may need so I can wire correctly and dont have to wire outside the walls later.
What other gadgets or needs/ suggestions are needed.
Thanks RUMBLON
