There is a plexiglass window on the back side of the coop to let in some light. I have 3 vents cut in the top of the henhouse potion (4 inch circles) and covered with hardware cloth, the adjustable vent on the front, and the top portion of the henhouse (above the pop door) folds down in good...

There is a roost bar, but I worry that it is too dark by the time I get them in and they can't see it.

Wow! What a setup! I am jealous of your beautiful garden! Suburbanchickfarmer: I want to get bees next year too and my husband thinks I'm a nut.

Well I just moved my two New Hampshire Reds into their newly completed playhouse coop. Good thing too, since one of them promptly laid an egg. Thanks to all the advice I found on this forum I added more ventilation and started them on sand sprinkled with DE. The flys have already found them...

I have finished my playhouse coop for my 2 New Hampshire Reds and want to build a PVC feeder for them. How large does it need to be for 2 chickens and what diameter? Some of the pics I have seen seem kind of large. Any thoughts? Are there any supply lists out there? I did a quick search ...

I have purchased the playhouse coop plans and want to have it built by Fall so I am in the planning stage right now. Since the coop portion where the chickens will be locked up for the night is raised, is burying the hardware cloth necessary? I just thought I could move the coop (if I wanted...

Yeah, I am sticking with 2 chickens so I won't be upsizing. I don't want to draw any unneccesary attention. I have sold Hubby on the idea and am thinking about a playhouse style coop. Anyone know of plans for a smallish one that would house at most 3 chickens?

I have 2 New Hampshire Reds that are currently in a smallish tractor. For the summer I am going to build an extended run, but want an insulated coop for the winter. I have a great spot next to the house, but I am concerned with Flies and smell. I live in a subdivision, and while all the...

I would love to build one of these for my 2 New Hamshire Reds. How big would it need to be to be comfortable? I can't get any more chickens because these 2 are already under the radar. I love your design though and would like to replicate on a smaller scale.

One of my 6 week old chicks is losing feathers in a patch on the back of her neck. She already lost her fluff and these are the real feathers that had come in. Is this normal? These are my first chickens and I only have 2. The chick that is losing them is the more dominant of the two so I...

I bought a Chick-n-Hutch at TSC on sale and have since taken it apart and am reinforcing it with 2x4s and 1x4s. I also raised it up so there is about a 30" tall space underneath. I am using hardware cloth to screen it and will use this as a run until the girls (2 New Hampshire Reds) get too...

I am usually up before dawn getting the kids (4) ready for school and such so letting the girls out of the coop should be no problem. I am thinking of mounting a flip top water tank (32oz) with a valve inside the coop. Any experience with how long it takes chickens to figure out a valve water...

I am working on my first coop, and have never kept chickens previously. Do I need to plan space in the coop for a feeder and waterer? It will be a coop with an attached run (tractor). Do chickens need access to food at night or just water? I apologize for the basic questions, I just want to...
