    Help with designing a walk in coop/shed

    Update: I have pretty much finished the interior for now. I will be adding hardware cloth skirting this week to secure the coop so that I can get baby chicks. I will also add an auto chicken door, a solar light to the porch area, and nesting boxes later this spring after I get chickens. I'll...

    Help with designing a walk in coop/shed

    If you do use pallets Id suggest building with the runners going vertical instead of horizontal like this dummy did (me) LOL. Dont know what I was thinking but the pallets make stronger walls when the runners are vertical.

    Help with designing a walk in coop/shed

    Thanks, I live in a forest so I have windbreak on all sides of me. I basically only cleared about 1/4 acre for house and garden. It doesnt look like it now because its winter, but the hen house is in the uncleared portion and has trees all around it. On the north side of the coop about 300 ft...

    Help with designing a walk in coop/shed

    all of the above! LOL It gets cold here, sometimes in the negatives but warms back up within a few days. We get snow that melts after a few days and we get ice storms. Very hot and humid in the summer

    Help with designing a walk in coop/shed

    Ok here is what I got accomplished today. Honestly not much because it was a beautiful 70* day so I mostly played in the sunshine with my fur babies. Brooder will be on the bottom. Roosts above. Man door on the left and a pop door on the bottom left. So hens will have roost area plus 4x4 on the...

    Help with designing a walk in coop/shed

    I wish I would have known that when I started this coop last month! I just set mine on blocks because the ground was frozen and I didnt feel like fighting the auger LOL. I guess if it starts to sink I can always jack it up and put more blocks under it. sighs

    Help with designing a walk in coop/shed

    I had never heard of poop boards until I joined this forum last week and honestly I like that idea. I need to research better to figure out how I would do it though. Ive decided to forego the quarantine/separation area and make a man door on the inside into the coop (more like a screen door)...

    Help with designing a walk in coop/shed

    Thank you! I dont have chickens yet. I was planning on 6 or 7 chickens, but Im a bit too experienced in chicken math (started with 10 before and had 28 by the time I moved!) but I also had a lot more space for them back then. I have a 200 ft run, but also plan to free range them as much as...

    Help with designing a walk in coop/shed

    Oh I like that idea. I wouldnt have a quarantine area, but I could always use a dog crate in the shed portion if one of them is getting picked on.

    Help with designing a walk in coop/shed

    Im in NE AR, It does get cold in the winter has even got down to -5 but it only lasts a few days. Im thinking I could always wrap the outside of the coop on the north side with a tarp if there is going to be really cold winds. I think our main concern here is going to be the heat and humidity in...

    Help with designing a walk in coop/shed

    Thanks, I always used a headlamp in the past and I figured I could do a solar light in there if I need to see in the shed portion. Do you think having the interior wall dividing the shed from the coop should be solid or can I use hardware cloth? The winds come from that side in the winter and...

    Help with designing a walk in coop/shed

    Hi, I recently built a pallet shed to use as a coop, but also feed storage, brooder area, etc. My original thought was that the coop area would be 4x8x4 ft high (and the peaked vented roof) under that area I wanted a spot for a 4x4x4 brooder and a another 4x4x4 area in case I need to separate an...
