That makes sense. Didn’t think of that before. (I’m tired and should head to bed soon anyways...)
Maybe they could get some sort of shed and convert it?
Here’s a link to someone’s renovated pre fab. The coop is different dimensions, but maybe you can make something like that work. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/my-renovated-prefab-coop.1440258/
There’s also tons of renovated sheds out there.
Congrats on the chicks!
To me it does! However, I would consider renovating the coop a bit. I’ll add more on that later.
You could put straw in there, but the chicks will think it’s a cozy sleeping cave. This will end up later having poopy eggs.
So no, they won’t really know the difference...
