    Coop in Progress...looking for suggestions

    Coop in Progress...looking for suggestions

    Here are a few pics of our coop in progress. With all of the research I've done, I somehow missed the part about the roosts being above the nesting boxes. I don't think we are too late to make any changes in the plans, but wanted to see what you experts think about our ideas. As of now, we...
