    New coop ... just finished

    The coop is 4 x 4 inside and the pen is 4 x 8 ( which = 4 x 12 total exterior space ). Following the 4sf per bird rule ... 4 birds. I used rough sawn lumber and plywood for the exterior, standard (cheap) plywood for the floor (1/2 sheet) and osb for the roof panels. If you use metal roofing or...

    Thanks for the advice !!! 1) hardware wire instead of chicken wire (I agree, looks better and is stronger) 2) add vents and windows ( windows glazed or not? if not, will birds get cold during the dead of winter?) (vents operable?) 3) $600 - $800 (agree) Thanks again!

Mine has 12 sf open floor space and 8 sf nest box space, but also, there are 3 staggered perches within the head room above, nearly 4 x 4 x 3. Does this space matter when calc'ing # of birds in the...
