My chickens!

[Barbc77]

We bought some chicks in April, built a chicken coop with a fenced in yard, which after they were old enough to be in, they quickly out grew. So we moved them to an old shed which the y love! Need to build roosts for them on the inside, but we got our first eggs today! Fantastic!

That’s fantastic !!
Now get to work on the shed coop!

Nesting boxes with a 2x4 on top is a roost and nest in one !

Looks like they have plenty of room , is there any ventilation? Openings for airflow ?

The south end of the shed is completely open. We have it fenced to the top and 2 fans down low blowing in and 1 fan bungied high up blowing out. We are working to put in a window on the west side and north side this week. They also have 24 hr access to their aviary which has roosts and a tarp over the center for shade. They have food and water inside and outside. I love your ideas on the roosts, I will let my husband know as he is in charge of the roosts. Lol! I am supervising! Lol! And we have 3 more eggs! We are up to 6 now in just 2 days!
