    Coop in a harbor freight greenhouse?

    Yeah i looked at the links you gave me, just seemed like they had more space to play with, so wasnt sure if they were just that size because they had that kinda room, or because thats what is really needed. And i dont know about removing the top, those arent two seperate sections easily divided...

    Coop in a harbor freight greenhouse?

    Awesome, i got a much better idea of what i should build now, and now i know i gotta get my hands on some pdz stuff and sand. Any idea how wide my poop board should be, i know everybody seems to do it differently but was thinking if i built the roost using 2x3 would a 6 inch wide board with...

    Coop in a harbor freight greenhouse?

    I had intended for it to be connected to the floor of the top boxes so if they walked up the ramp they could walk right out onto the roosts, just gotta make the ramp a bit more walkable, lol, they do seem to prefer the bottom boxes, but the ramp to that one is at a slightly lower pitch, plus it...

    Coop in a harbor freight greenhouse?

    Ok, so cleats are on the list, lol. And a poop board, for some reason didnt think of that, just heard people talking about these bag things i think it was, or some sort of other removable catcher i imagined. Also i was not aware that different breeds, such as the silkies, would prefer a...

    Coop in a harbor freight greenhouse?

    I was thinking i could put a roost going from the "2nd floor" of nesting boxes on the right side going to the front of the coop, pretty much over the ramp to the "1st floor" of boxes. That way its up about 3 feet in the air, and out of the way when you walk in and hopefully works for them and...

    Coop in a harbor freight greenhouse?

    Also i dont know if you noticed but i put "hardware cloth" metal mesh around the entire inside so when it gets warm i can essentially remove all the wall panels yet still have them contained and protected, so with all the walls off its not too hot, the only time i think itll be tricky is in the...

    Coop in a harbor freight greenhouse?

    Yep, if this experimental coop of mine doesnt work out and becomes more trouble than its worth than i resort to conventional methods. Luckily though so far so good, keeps them warm while we've had temps in the 20's and 30's, and when we've had some warmer and sunnier days just open the vents...

    Coop in a harbor freight greenhouse?

    I live in upstate ny and am not as new to greenhouses as i am chickens, i know how hot they can get even on a very cold day, and it only takes a little bit of sunshine to really bump up the heat in those things. So panels are removed and replaced on an as needed basis, we moniter the temp...

    Coop in a harbor freight greenhouse?

    Im in upstate ny, i did just add that to my profile. Yes the mesh is there its hard to see in the pic though, and the mesh is wrapped around the interior of everywall so panels and mesh can both be on and then i can remove panels as needed and the mesh is always there, the picture was taken...

    Coop in a harbor freight greenhouse?
