    Roost pole positions

    I've got some materials left over from the build. I'll start construction tonight Mine will be a little different than yours but will serve the same purpose. This will give me a little more roost room. I'm going to go with the wrap around idea. I'll have the roosts wrap around 2 walls to...

    Roost pole positions

    Quote: in the summer time ventilation will not be an issue. the main window opens all the way. The winter time is the concern but it's almost over so I'll have to see what needs to be done next winter. I'll check the wall mounted feeder for ideas. I definitely need to save some space.

    Roost pole positions

    good ideas, thanks The poop boards seem to be the most practical because my nest boxes are 4 1/2" off the floor and cannot be moved. the water and feed are the larger containers you get from Tractor Supply. That's whay I had to give them a wide berth. Plus I don't want the birds poo'ing out...

    Roost pole positions

    the first graphic is from overhead. the second is from the side. because I don't want to extend the roost pole all the way across I figured my modified ladder idea would work.

    Roost pole positions

    I'm trying to wrap a few things up with the coop before the ladies can occupy it and I'm wondering about roost pole placement. I have a bit of a dilemma. The dilemma is that I'm losing some real estate on the inside that I think I'll need for food and water. Here's the basic floor plan. You...

    My first coop build

    I did a little painting while I was at it and my back was recovering. the inside is now painted and I half covered the nest boxes. The reason being because the flat paint I'm using marks up real easy and I want to make sure to have everything finished construction wise before I put the final...

    My first coop build

    OK, I'm back at it and trying to reach the goal line. My last update I said I got the siding finished and some soffit boards up. Here's the pics. Now, I changed my mind mid build... imagine that. the more I thought about the floor entrance the more I thought that I didn't have a good way...

    My first coop build

    Had a real good weekend for getting things done. I put up the soffit boards and the drip edge all around. I learned real quick that drip edge is not my forte anyway, we got the whole thing covered in siding. The only thing left is to build the doors for the rear and the nest boxes. I also...

    My first coop build

    here's a small update. the weather has turned bitter cold and in my ripe old age of 32 I can't take it like I used to. Anyway, I got a little more off the list so here goes. last time I had one side of the roof sheeting nailed on. I had to go to Lowe's and get another piece of 5/8". it wasn't...

    My first coop build

    the roosts aren't in there yet. I'm still figuring where the best place to put them. i know they need to be higher than the nest boxes but I have a hole in the floor on the opposite wall. I'm thinking about putting it in the corner / angled.
