Well my main question is that with the heat lamp and then a area just for them they should be fine in the coop right? Its really the only place I have thats not in the house.

So I have been building my coop over the past few weeks and was under the assumption that i was gonna be able to find started pullets a lot easier than i could. So we have decided to go with babys. Cinnamon queens! 25 of them will be ready for me to pick up this saturday. So I plan on making my...

Yeah It will really come down to seeing how they do in it! All I have left to do is 1)get the nest boxes set up. Still debating how i should go about doing that. 2)Take off the siding at the top for increased ventilation. 3)Put the posts for the run up and then put the fencing up. 4) buy the...

Should that be good?

they can get up to the top roost from the 2ft wide shelf that they would come in from the window. At least that was my thought when thinking of how to do it. Those roosts are 12inches from the wall. The lower roost is about 16 inches higher than where the nesting boxes will be. just made the...

I live near Wilson NC the weather is up and down around here so I will more than likely be adding more ventilation to it. This is what I did for the roosting area. How do you think this will work? Should be easy cleaning and i did this on both sides so there is 32ft of roosting area not...

I plan on getting them in about 2 weeks or so. everything will be done and ready by then. I did kind of plan it all out before i started .using the Window seemed like a good idea to me.

So I took a look up at the eaves and it is just some soffit covering it. So I plan on removing parts of it on both sides of the shed and putting hardware cloth over the parts that i make open. Thanks for the tips so far. I dont want to cut the whole there because the way ive built it the part...

Thats one thing im working on is for ventilation. It has 2 vents on each side but they are not very big. I was thinking about making a door inside the person door that stays locked shut so i can leave the main door open all day but they still need more ventilation at night so im not sure where...

So the shed/coop was delivered yesterday. So exited. Started getting a few things done and purchased a bit of lumber to start building on the inside. Here is a few pictures so far. This was before and after. Only had a hour before it got dark after work to get started. This shelf I am...

Yeah we are going to look at sheds in a couple hours. Either 8x12 or bigger we are thinking. Best idea to me. Plus adding the perch and nest boxes shouldn't prove to be to hard. Still gonna research more on what all I will have to do to the shed before the chickens get there.

Me and my soon to be wife are looking at raising some chickens, but we are lost at whre to start with building a coop. We know that we are going to end up wanting a lot of chickens down the road so dont want to start off with a small coop. We plan on starting off with 6 or so but most certainly...
