Any ideas on how to keep the coop warm?
Thanks, Cassey.
Winter is coming and I no idea what do to.

Is it possible for the eggs to crack when they hit the nesting boxes?

What should you do...
Thanks. I'll be making some changes. I really like your set-up. I'm hoping to make changes this Sunday, or in 2 weeks or so. I'll post pictures of the changes. Thanks for all the help!

Hi! I'm wanting opinions on the chicken's roost, above.
It's great, but it takes up lots of room and it very hard to clean the poop under.
The chickens don't roost the bottom perch, they only use it get to the top two.

Thanks for all the help. I will post pictures of the roost. Like I said we had someone build them for us and they're not the best. All this information is helpful. Thanks again!
I love the nesting boxes, our nesting boxes aren't as built at good as yours. I'll need to remember that when we build the rest of our nesting boxes this Sunday.
