    Should I place them in the open where they get the most daylight, or put the fully enclosed run in a shady area under trees?

    new basic coop design

    I'm thinking about puthing a single roosting bar across the length of the coop, and putting a couple roosting boxes in one of the double doors. This eliminates the need for the ramp and maximizes floor space in case of chicken math. I'm making the coop in 3 parts and designing it to butt...

    new basic coop design

    Was wondering how long it would take for someone to ask! :) I will probably just frame it off of an interior stud from the side wall and extend a leg down, or use a wire to suspend from a roof stud/rafter.

    I considered putting a tray if some kind under the roosts so I could pull it all out, but I'll think about that after I have the main structure built. With these chickens any shavings will he all over the coop in seconds.

    new basic coop design

    The thing under the roosts is the area I put my wood chips or sand for easier cleaning. Here is a 2nd (and more proficiently drawn :) ) coop. I guess I can expand to 8x4 and use the whole sheet of plywood. I just want the food off the floor and away from the roosts. I have lowered the nesting...

    new basic coop design

    I am about to start constructing a new coop after deeming the prefab I bought a month ago inadequate. Here is my basic design. The back, whis is open in the pic, I expect to have double swinging doors so you can open the whole thing up for maintenance. I will be attaching this right up to my 6x8...
