    The pictures are in my reply above. We have made ventilation wholes on the side, two big doors on the front that we still need to attach. On the doors, my boyfriend and I are not yet sure on how to do it. I would like to create a door with mesh for ventilation, but we need to take into account...

    Hi! I'm new here and I actually live in Belgium but since plastic coops are not yet used by many, I'm trying to get some more information here. Because this summer we have had many red mites, so much that we had to decommission one of the wooden coops we had. Which means that I have now six...
