Holmes' Homestead :
Thanks to everyone for the advise. It looks like I have something else to build then, this it turning into exhausting work. I'm enjoying it, but I've had a tough time finding coop plans that are big enough. It looks like I'm going to adjust some plans I've found and work...
I agree with the good advice above.
My chickens free range most days but there are days when I will not be there to lock them up at night. I built a covered run for them on those days... They have access to plenty of water and feed in the run and If I'm going be out of town for a few days...
