Love your play of words lol. Good advice, you cant tell by my pics but theres a lot of fresh air coming in but I may have to adjust it depending on humidity levels. I am very OCD and clean my run out a few times a day and clean pine shavings if they get wet so we keep the foul air at a minimum lol.

great advice, I will def keep an eye on that. You cant tell in in my pics but theres a lot open spaces mostly at the top and doors that are not covered. I will keep my eyes on that & adjust if needed.

Thank you for your suggestions, I like the idea of the PDZ in the trays, I use it now but at the bottom of the trays under the pine shavings. I cant move the coop since its bolted down and fabricated to fit the door opening, it would leave the run with a huge hole. Thanks again for all your...

I must say that all the wonderful feedback you veteran chicken keepers have been giving me is amazing and I truly appreciated all of it. I found this forum too late and the coop was already purchased and so misleading (Snap Lock IMO) but thats why I kept looking for more info because it didn’t...

OMG-how horrific-so glad you found a solution to the issue.

The roof is part the same steel as the run, we added the corrugated roof to keep rain out. It’s pretty sturdy Nothing larger than 1/2 gap or opening. Im pretty OCD and carry my quarter to check often.

All water and feeders are in the run and not in the coop. Thanks for your suggestion

Theres the predator guard that goes around the entire run, including the entrances.

There are no gap in the entire coop thats would allow a quarter fit thru..perhaps just bad photo taking. Along the doors (top,sides,bottom) has SS 8” to keep the predators out. The entire base of coop has 1’ predator guards plus material cloth.

The run is 2 8x8 that are tied together with stainless steel custom (husband is pipe fitter) fittings-he had one of his Millwrights make it with specific measurements, 8” medical grade SS and fab to fit exact. I wish he would have made the entire coop and run to begin with lol. I think I will...

I pulled theses pics off the web site of interior

Pics as promised also the specs on coop is COOP: 64” X 39” X 42” I love the idea of keeping the coop for isolation purposes, we were planning on doing that. I thought of putting a mylar type of blanket (keeping it away from vents) and putting on roof to keep more of the warm air inside the...

Thanks for your comments all, I will post some pics of our coop and run tomorrow when it gets light. The problem with the Snap Lock information (all different depending on what website you are on) is they say anywhere from 8 to 15 birds. The coop does not have a lot of space in it but theres 3...

To start off, I am new to having chickens. Before getting our 9 hens, (3 BR, 2BO, 2 EE, 1 RIR, 1 LH) we did a lot of research on runs, coops, taking care of our girls and so on. We brought them home in June and have been in ❤️ with them every since. For us, they are pets and we do our best to...
