    Snaplock chicken coops

    I have two large ones. I'm thinking you could make one of the nesting box lids out of plexiglass. Then you wouldn't have to cut anything. You would just have to attach it some how.

    Hens not sleeping in the coup

    Hens not sleeping in the coup

    A couple of weeks ago one hen stopped sleeping in the coup. Instead, she roosts outside in the closed-in run. Now 3 hens are doing that. Any advice?

    Snaplock chicken coops

    I have the large sized snaplock with 5 white plymouth rock hens. I have it inside a large run and I let the girls out to roam the yard during the day. I'm very happy with the coop.

    Tractor supply pullets

    Out of my 6 chicks from TSC one was a rooster and 5 were hens. Big Bertha became Big Bert. He hasn't started crowing yet but when he does, he will become dinner

    I didn't have materials to build a stand. I would like the info you have on the feeder. I just move my feeder inside the coop when I close them in at night. I also did alot of looking at coops and this was the only one I said yes to.
