    I moved them all to the coop and closed it off to the other hens. I first put a couple in the crate with her — she did fine. Added 2 more, no problem — they are al;l inside the coop. I’ll be watching. I have 6 nesting boxes in there with fresh pine straw

    Love the simplicity of this coop! Wood is so expensive right now. Did you use furring wood/stripes? I built my first two-part coop & run out of PVC and hardwire. I put the run on wheels. The quail hutch I used furring wood around a mental shelf. I rent so I want to make this coop maybe...

    Feedback on chicken doors

    Chicken door question...which would you recommend? I was considering getting a wireless solar door where you could set it to light and dark mode. But then I was concern about chickens getting locked out or caught and sliced to pieces. Then there’s the manual lift and slide from the outside...

    Any issues with snakes or other predators getting underneath the coop? How do you keep the coop warm during the winter months?

    With wood being so expensive, someone suggested PVC. I just joined the website and am new to wanting chickens for eggs and meat. I’m a single mama with limited tools.
