Yep, it's vented, just seems like it would be so hot. Blech.

Thanks KikisGirls...where would you recommend I sleep the chickens until it cools off? My setup has the closed in area like you say as well as grass below and off to the side.

When you say "main coop" do you mean the actual roosting area or just in the grass? I know, I know, I'm cringing as I type since I'm so naive...

You do think it will be too small? I can never tell. They will have the entire side of the house to roam daily and access to the full backyard most days, but I can never quite tell for actual roosting how much room they need. Newb.

They are being shipped as day-olds. :)

Mine ship from MPC next week too, yay!

Hi everyone, ready to insert an eyeroll? ;) I'm completely confused on how to get started with what I currently have. Not sure how to add pics, but my coop is a standard coop with attached run (similar to any you can find on Amazon) that is advertised being able to hold 4-6 LF chickens. They'll...

Hello, all, new to the site and chickens in general...I've been lurking awhile, though. My 6 chicks arrive in 10ish days and we are so excited! Finishing the coop this weekend and getting all the necessary supplies. Names have been picked out, kids are excited, life is good. :) Looking forward...

Hello, new here. :) My 6 chicks are arriving in the next 7-10 days, a mixture of LF and bantams. I also have the opportunity to adopt a Silkie around the same time (or even a bit sooner). Am I able to house them all at the same time in the coop? I plan to brood the chicks outdoors, as it's 100...
