My future real coop is still in planning. Still collecting free materials. If I find sufficient quantities of brick and/or concrete block, how much of a foundation to build and how to provide drainage without providing critter holes?
Budget is tight, the only big outlay I will not compromise on is that 1/2 inch mesh. Is the 19 gauge standard or is this another thing to not take word for unless I see it in writing?
And, I know its overkill, but what about tiled concrete as coop floor? Tile places throw out all sorts of tile and I know how to do tiling. I'm envisioning something that can be hosed out...that european look.
everyone tells me I over think things. so pipe up and say so
