    How to hide nails poking through hen house ceiling

    Here is a picture of the coop. The openings are not there because I’m only cutting them open as im ready to work on them. I’ll post another when it’s done, likely spring. It is 8’x4’.

    Yes, we may still go this route. I know painting will help make them less noticeable.

    How to hide nails poking through hen house ceiling

    The roof is 1/2” plywood. We chose that because the rafters are 16” on center and the thought of hoisting 3/4” plywood up onto the roof area was unappealing. I really enjoy the building process but I don’t have any training and have learned everything from the internet. And the internet said...

    Ugh, rodents are a problem here. I’ve decided against the insulation.

    Thank you—I had done a bit of research and this seemed to be the number one approach to remove the sharp nail points. I’m going to move in another direction but will keep it in mind.

    How to hide nails poking through hen house ceiling

    I’m building a chicken coop and we’re shingling the plywood roof. The nails are protruding into the ceiling by 1/2” and I hate the look of it. I’m considering putting foam board and covering that w thin plywood sheathing. Do I need to worry about moisture buildup on the foam board and...

    Wow, thank you so much Debbie292d! Anything beyond computer basics quickly gets beyond me but I have teenagers who seem to have emerged from the womb computer savvy— we’ll enlarge the difficult to see parts. Beckyf did share a lot of detail in the thread. And the Pinterest page, it’s a...

    Does anyone have building plans for this coop?

    This coop was designed by beckyf back in 2013. At the end of the thread she generously offers to share her plans and it looks like she has but I don’t think she’s an active member anymore. I reached out about a year ago and unsurprisingly didn’t hear back. Does anyone have these plans and if...

    Official BYC Poll: Do You Wear a Mask or Respirator When Cleaning Your Coop?

    I wear an n95 when I clean out the coops because I have asthma. I didn’t used to but the last time I cleaned it out without a mask I coughed for days. My asthma’s gotten worse with the years so I wear the mask anytime I’m working with pine shavings, straw, anything dusty.

    Ok, so I have sad news for the BackYard Chicken community...... Racoon massacre!

    What a traumatic experience; I'm so sorry. We've dealt with raccoons and other predators taking our chickens, as do most people who have livestock. We thought our setup was secure but we had a couple of questionable spots and both were breached. A space under the door to the run and a...
