My First Coop

[Chicken Egg 17]

Looks nice but personally if u have strong winds in ur area I would lower it a bit I have my 4x8 coop two feet high and I will be lowering it in the spring because of the winds lately I am afraid it will fall over but the winds are so strong tonight I have my head phones on listening to music so I can't hear it and the wind don't usually bother me so that is just saying how hard it's blowing I haven't even see a car go down my road in over an hour because of the wind

This is what I have done so far.

How high off the ground is it? I'm thinking about making mine 30 inches.

It's 3ft off the ground

I live in central Arkansas, we really don't have wind problems.

Ok well then as long as it don't get windy u should be good looks nice

.......and the height in relation to the width and length makes it pretty darn stable.

Thank you. I'm using Skechup to design it.

Rafters are on. I may need to take off work since i can't seem to get anything done during the week. Next is decking, siding and the nesting box. Not necessarily in that order.
