    Coop Design Problems

    Good to hear! We are building our coop...it is 8 foot long, so I think I am going to make 2 slide out drawers that just slide on 2x4s instead of rollers. I read on another thread that if it's on rollers they could get clogged with poop/shavings.

    Coop Design Problems

    So we framed out our 3.5x8 coop a few weeks ago for our 7 chicks (they are still in the brooder but I think they will be big enough for their big girl coop in about a month). We used 4x4s for the corners and put a tin roof on. The floor of the coop will be about 2 feet off the ground. Then we...

    I, too, have been reading threads for about a month now. Decided to finally jump into the conversation! We got 7 chickens about 4 weeks ago: 2 Partridge Silkies, 2 Buff Orpingtons, 2 Black Cochin Bantams, and 1 Easter Egger. Mainly got the Easter Egger so we can have some colored eggs! They...
