    My First Flock

    Hey all. Just an update. I've been so busy obsessing over these girls and getting their home situated and ready that I've slacked on sharing updates. Yesterday my girls moved out in to their coop. (Please no judgment on my mixed flock, I realize what can happen and have a plan if I need...

    Coop Doors (For Humans)

    Hey All, I'm looking for some insight on what kind of material of doors I should use for my coop's human doors. I am planning to buy doors like the kind you'd buy for your home's exterior doors, not build my own. (Unless someone has an alternative that will look good and protect the girls.) I...

    Ventilation

    You know, I thought of it after posting. I'm thinking of high and low ventilation being required in attics. 😂 I used to be an insulation technician, old habits.

    Ventilation

    Good point about the snow obstructing the ridge! Would it be overkill to have the ridge, soffit vents, and gables? I do plan to have windows protected with ¼in hardwire cloth on the South, North, and East sides of the coop.

    Ventilation

    I'm planning my coop and have a question about ventilation. I know I need high and low ventilation. For high ventilation I'm thinking ridge vent along the whole roof. For low ventilation I was thinking soffit vents. So, would soffit vents still be too high? Should I do gables or transom...
