Good idea to make a window in the coop. You did a great job without using all the expensive tools. And great colors!
IMO the Bosch set up not optimized. It looks nice. Neat job and the builder gives several good features and tips to build a coop. But its more a ‘how to build with expesive machinery’ and not a perfect home for chickens. Its a very small coop to start with. The ventilation is not sufficient for a healty coop. Its too dark inside. The 2 nestboxes are too much for such a small coop. And you have to rebuilt it as soon as chicken math strikes you.
Wow! Fantastic job.
It is very a substantial looking coop.
I like the cheerful color.
Nice placement in your yard too, chickens need shade.
I appreciate that you told the part of the story about having to take it apart to get it outside.
I’m certain you aren’t the only person who’s ever had to do that either.
Lots of info here! The instructions are clear and well supported by pictures. Did the articles on how to do the computer-based additions ever come through? If they did, then links to those would bump this article to five stars!
I thinm you should do a seperate article for the coop automation. There's not a lot of info on BYC about using rasberry pi's (or other simple electronics) and I think that would be very helpful for a lot of people. Nice article and sweet coop!
