    First coop, first thoughts?

    The roost will NOT be over the nest boxes. Peter, the plan is modular. The initial coop would be what you see. When you expand, you don't need to buy another complete coop. Essentially you would buy the coop but it would not have end walls. One of the walls on the coop pictured is...

    First coop, first thoughts?

    Quote: I like the Fowl Stuff...er...STUFF! But there is no easy way to get in to get the eggs in the case of our coop. There really is no reason to paint or clear coat the white cedar at all. A more natural coop!

    Steve- I agree the external boxes would save room, but the basic platform for the coop is going to be used for a goat house among other things so it's a matter of efficiency for us. As long as the chickens are happy, we're happy. There are three nesting boxes inside.

    "CEDAR" coops question #482

    To eliminate most (if not all) fumes, if necessary, I was considering lining the interior with a very thin Luan or other type of plywood thereby "sealing" the interior from the exposed white cedar walls/roof. I think the floor may be plywood but if not, and it is cedar as well, I would line the...

    "CEDAR" coops question #482

    I know the topic of "is cedar ok for coops" has been covered a million times here. I have searched the forums with no luck as far as determining what kinds of cedar (actual or otherwise) is "bad" for chickens. I planned to make coops out of Eastern White Cedar...
