    @Irish: By raising the coop off the ground I increased the run to 108SqFt. They are free range on my 5 acres and really will only be in the run, which is covered, in the winter. @Janet: it will be covered with wood like the rest. I have lots of venting in the eves and the ridge vent. I thought...

    Update... The coop is coming along well. Put most of the roof on last night. Doing interior walls tonight so the chicks can have their grand opening this Eve. The rest of the work can be done with them living in it.

    Perhaps next year I can lean on your for duck advise. I'm in your area often and only live an hour from you.

    Waddle: I think I would end up in the exact same boat you're in then. Next year we are building a pond for lil ducks. I don't like the taste if duck but would be interested in the eggs. That being said, I'd get some Susie's.

    Possibly. Why are you getting rid of them. As of now I don't have a pond :(

    Kitfoxdrvr: nice looking coop! Did you run your 4x4's, all the way up on the corners to the roofline?

    I should also add that the walks will be insulated via standard cheap Fiberglas roll type. Then covered with that paneling they use in showers. Roof rafters in the same way (or is that stupid because of all the ventilation?) Floors... No clue yet.

    Yup. 3 of them. Made it hard to sleep when you hear them crawling above you in bed. I hate snakes.

    Hey all! New member here from Augusta County. I've had my girls for about a year now and love them so much we are going to double our flock to 10 and build a new coop. Anyone else tired of seeing chicken prints in the snow come out of the run a few feet and turn around? Here's to Spring!!

    Hello from Central Virginia

    Hey all. We are going into our second year with our girls. We got them sight unseen from a co-worker one day with no idea what to do (or what breed). It was a crazy and wonderful year and we fell in love with them. We are doubling our flock from 5 to 10 and planning on building them a much...
