Thank you for the help ....... I live in far NE Oklahoma in the hills. Due to predators and our cold winters I want to build a coop that is well ventilated but also secure so I probably will not use tarps or any other "soft" material. I do like the idea of designing a coop that can be added...
Yes ...... lumber prices. I cannot afford the coop I want for the flock size I plan on having next year. I was gonna build one smaller coop now with about half the birds I intend to have later. Then build another small coop next spring when I get more chickens.
If I use two small coops in the same chicken yard will all of the chickens try to pile in the same coop or will they naturally split into two groups with one group in each coop?
