We are located in cleveland area Ohio so we will be dealing with snow as well as warmer temps.
Looking to get 4 to 6 chickens mixed standard size breeds (orpington, wyandotte etc)
The henhouse is 4x4 with abt 2 in walls and exterior nesting boxes. The run size will be a 4×10 which includes the 4x4 under the henhouse. The henhouse is elevated 2 feet.
I'm not completely sure I like the layout of everything but rather than redo it a bunch of times I figured I'd get some experiences eyes to take a look first.
Concerns/questions I have are:
the height of the vents above the roost.
The overall interior layout
Should the access door to the run open into the run or out?
I'm concerned the hens may decide to next under the poop board under the roosts rather than the nesting box
