Doors and Windows
We wanted windows for light and for air circulation in the summer months.
There are four doors on the coop. One on each side. The entry door, where the chickens will enter. The egg door, allowing access to the nesting boxes for gathering eggs and two additional wooden doors allowing access for cleaning the coop and filling water and tube feeders.
The nesting boxes are some old handmade crates we had.
We will be using black trays for collecting the chicken poo while they roost and one tray under the tubes to collect spilled grit, oyster shells and additional food and water. The doors were made just a bit wider than the trays so I can easily slide the trays out and empty them either in the garden or compost.
