Oh I think there is a smattering of different coops there. I have seen some seriously interesting coops out here. 😆 That being said, a good idea to ask. I forget about the state threads.
Thank you!
Those are all things to consider. We always have wind here.. never less than 5-8 mph.. most days we're running 10-12mph. The highest I have seen here was 70mph. It is common in winter to get 50-60mph winds and negative temps. Yesterday and Tuesday we were ranging from 5 degrees to -15 degrees...
I definitely just read some about them. I am not sure they will work for sure where we are at due to our shear volume of wind and weather. We are currently -13 degrees and yesterday we were -8 with 35mph winds (+). I do plan on leaving the plastic removable like our current coop. The plastic is...
They will be insulated with standard insulation and plywood. I have an 8x8 metal one that worked this summer but we have the plastic windows that we can take off that has chicken wire as well so it opens up the ventilation. We don't typically get that hot, 90-95 in August.

We are building these as chicken coops but instead of the corrugated plastic it will all be metal. There will be windows up front that are plastic and removable for summer but I am excited to see how this goes! I will have the 1st one done by end of next week. Anyone else use this type of coop...
