    Am I planning enough ventilation?

    I think I had said I will be covering the insulated portion of the walls with a humidity resistant tile board. So I'm not convinced this is a concern. It is made to be washed and cleaned, and I am choosing to go that route so I can mostly disinfect the coop without ruining the integrity of the...

    Am I planning enough ventilation?

    My coop delivered on Good Friday, and I noticed they never put the long narrow window in on the one 8' side. 🥺 I take partial responsibility for that because I didn't exactly specify that I wanted it. When I talked to the guy in the office, I simply asked if I could order a coop like the ones...

    Help me decide- Grandpa’s Feeder or other brand?

    I noticed Al has his website in his signature. So if you find one of his comments in this thread, you can get to his website that way.

    Information Overload + Analysis Paralysis

    Well, it has been a week and a couple days since I started this thread. I just wanted to pop on here and say that posting here helped me out so much! I'm still a little nervous, but I'm feeling way more prepared at this point than I was. And I wanted to offer one last THANK YOU to everyone that...

    Information Overload + Analysis Paralysis

    The wind that blows through my lot comes from the western vicinity most of the time. And our lot was completely empty when we bought it, so the only trees I have are ones I've planted but it's only been a handful so far in the 6 years we've been here. And it's about 2-1/2 acres, so quite wide...

    Information Overload + Analysis Paralysis

    I did a post on the coop page and few days ago after I visited the builder to add a little more ventilation to the design. Sounds like one more adjustment is needed and I should be good, which my husband said he can do once it's delivered. I didn't think about the west winds, so thank you for...

    Information Overload + Analysis Paralysis

    Oh my gosh...that makes me chuckle and think of a mini Jurassic Park right in my backyard. 😂 Thank you so much for the words of encouragement. I very much appreciate it. I have studied so hard in the last several weeks, and all the advice in this thread coupled with tidbits that I hadn't yet...

    Information Overload + Analysis Paralysis

    This is a great idea. I already look for their free gardening workshops, but it hadn't crossed my mind to look if they have any chicken keeping opportunities for the communities. Thank you for this suggestion!

    Am I planning enough ventilation?

    I made a trip to the builder that is making my coop today. Because of all you wonderful folks that have taken time to answer questions and post articles about ventilation, I started feeling like the standard build for my coop will be lacking. Therefore, I wanted to ask them some questions and...
