Good morning! So I built our coop over the winter to make it 8x4 and I installed 3 roosts in it all three just shy of 4' long. I also have a outside run attached to the coop that is 20x10. Well we ordered 6 barred rocks and might wife went into TSC and caved into the cute little chicks with...

Hey everyone so I ordered some barred rocks that are supposed to come in welllllllllll my wife got a little antsy and went to TSC and bought some other pullets. Any idea what they may be? I'm just curious cause I don't like surprises! Thank you!

Thank you Ridge! I have my nests on the north side just for that reason that you said, they also are the nests that come 18 inches off the side of the coop so they are kinda seperated. With the window placement that's what i was thinking on the north side but wasn't 100% sure. Ventilation...

Good morning! So I found a spare window for the coop, its a 31.5" hopper window. I am only going to put one in right now and wanted to see if I can get some opinions on the best location. My nests are on the north side of the house. Do I put the window above them or do I put it on the south...

Ahh, didn't think about a poop board! That is a great idea thank you!

Yes I am going to be putting some windows in. Going up to a older local window guy and see if he has some thing that people haven't picked up or wants to get rid of and see how it goes but they are planned. The coop almost tipped before because I had the roof on and just the studs so there was...

Day 3 update: Got everything up and sided. It was windy today so it was a hard one man job hanging that T1-11. My little helper. Finished the door and run door. Installed the pulley and rope to open the run door. You can see the run door and the nest boxes. It's livable for when my day...

Thank you for the suggestions, I don't know why it wouldn't upload the image but not that I am at work I can make sure it actually does it so here it is. The only thing I am trying to figure out is if I am going to make them run long wise or put them in a step pattern going up the far wall near...

So I've completed my coop and my next step is finishing the inside. I've looked at a couple ideas for the roosts and wanted to get some opinions. The structure is 8x4,with 3 coops extending off the side. I was thinking of doing 2 roosts with a 2x4 running the 8ft length of the strucutre...

We live in eastern Maryland so we get some mild winters and warmer summers. Ocean really helps us stay pretty regulated. I planned on leaving the eaves all open and putting the hardware cloth along them. Figured it would be better to have more ventilation in there that I could close up a bit...

New here to this site and wanted to show our families progress of our journey to raising chickens! This whole endeavor started with us getting a small pot belly pig last year and then wanting our children to grow up with responsibilities and good fresh food. My wife and I have a 15 month...
