Coccidia Invasive Forms under microscopeCoccidia is a really nasty parasite. It will take all the fun from raising chickens as you watch them decline. Fairly easy to treat with amplorium added to water for a week and then repeated treatment in 9 days for another week. The key is to do it before coccidia does too much damage to...

Inside view from one end prior to my modifications. I also insulated the inside of the coop with a insulated Styrofoam board which I cut and nailed around in the coop. The Styrofoam board has foil paper on one side and plastic on the other. I put it up so the foil paper is facing inside the coop. The chickens have not bothered it or tried pecking at it and there is no loose Styrofoam so I figured it was safe. If the water was freezing inside then it was still too cold. Not so bad now that I insulated. I also nailed a 2x4 across the inside front and back to prevent the pine shavings from getting kicked out the front when the hens go out or back door (when opened)

Inside of coop shows the roosting trays which are removable. I have since then, removed one of them (hung the food and water under the other one to lessen the chance of it getting dirty) and added two 2x2 across the top of the coop. Found that they kept roosting on the bar I had the food hung on instead of the roosting trays. I just gave them two long bars across the top. They like that better.

Added the automatic door from pullet shut automatic doors. LOVE! We did not add electricity at the coop so the solar panel was a must have. Also added traction tape to the ramp because they were slipping when it would rain or ice. The tape solved the problem. Trimmed the corners around the coop and painted them white. Touched up the paint to look more like real bricks. Wanted it to match our brick house.
