    I've been thinking of some ways to modify the coop based on what I've read here. Here are my ideas: (1) Make the door over the nest boxes smaller, so it doesn't make up so much of the coop roof. (2) Raise the roof of the coop, except the nest box door part, about 1 to 2 feet higher. (3)...

    Coop Design: Did I screw up bad?

    It gets below freezing some, especially at night, in the winter. Most winter days generally warm above freezing, but in the dead of winter it can stay below freezing for a few days. It seldom drops below the 20's, but we can have a slightly colder night or two during the winter.

    Coop Design: Did I screw up bad?

    I was planning on getting 3 hens and maybe a rooster. I see a lot of people have their roost inside, and I didn't understand this when I built it. I assumed the chickens would go in the box to sleep when it was cold. So I may have to add more enclosed space inside.

    Coop Design: Did I screw up bad?

    It's not very pretty, but here it is...Made from some old rough cut lumber that has been setting in my barn for 10 years, some used tin, and $10 worth of used chicken wire.

    Coop Design: Did I screw up bad?

    So we've been thinking about getting chickens, for the eggs mostly, so I decided to build a chicken coop. I originally was going to build it a bit larger than it turned out, but due to the lack of tin I had for roofing, I had to size it down a bit. It's basically a 9' x 5' open structure with...
