No worries, whenever it is convenient for you. 😁 I'll jot ya down. Also I'll follow

Hiya friends! I'd just like to let everyone know a quick update about my set up. Been working on it. The roost is off and will be lowering it about two inches above the Nesting Boxes. I didn't remove any boxes because they are secured very sturdy. But I've decided in the next year or so I'm...

Thank you for the advice! I plan on painting it weeks before the chicks are ready to be out in the coop. Btw, you have a mighty pretty coop. Very nice indeed!

I mean I couldn't at this point. I have soffit and fascia and vents above the windows on both the opposite sides for cross ventilation. If I did that my birds would be blasted constantly a stream of air. Which won't be good for the birds themselves, especially in the winter. Also with the breeds...

Yea, I thought that as well. I decided to go against the staining of the perches. Doesn't make sense to me anyhow

Ok! That makes sense! Thank you for the information! Much appreciated 😁

Oh wow! First thought came to mind was a BR but I thought maybe not. Haha you have very pretty birds! And love the picture of you and the little one. Looks like she ain't having none of it.🤣

Also do any of you have any recommendations for a HN water setup for my day old chicks I'll be getting? Do they have a pre fabricated one I can purchase? Or any tips for setting it up for chicks? I'd like to get them use to the system at day one so I don't have to transition them when I move...

Well I'm not sure. I don't I felt like there wasn't room for a poop board. I mean obviously that ladder is wrong and would have been in the way. But with that being gone now I should most assuredly have plenty of room for a poop board. And that's actually a very good idea! Building a structure...

The original picture is from last fall. I'll be posting another once it's updated to the modifications I see fit

I certainly do have access from the outside. I took roost down and going to lower it and I'm adding to it to give more roosting space.

Haha! Well I'm glad they use the ones you replaced the others with! That's what I'm terrified about myself. I put in effort to make some "pretty" nesting boxes, well not really. Regardless I hope they use them. BTW, that is a very pretty bird in the picture. What breed is she. 😁

Wow ok! That's something I'll definitely keep in mind. Very good to know. This spring will be a perfect test to see what the floor does when all this snow the sky has been crapping on us all winter melts! I appreciate your thoughts and input very much! Thank you!

Also, I have never myself seen it weep with moisture through last winter or this one, it is bone dry. I was surprised to see that my snow track I left in there when I was tinkering in there that it had melted and stayed in liquid form and didn't freeze and that was in 15° weather. I know that...

I have no idea, I'm assuming not. When I moved here it was just an old tin garden shed sitting on a concrete slab. I since then tore down the shed and built my coop on it. As I said I would assume not but have no idea in reality

Lol that's a very good idea. I mean I've already invested a decent amount into this coop a little more won't hurt. I'm all for recycling and re and using materials but I literally have NOTHING available haha. Very good idea though. That's most likely what I will do with that. Just makes sense...

I actually have added a land bar to the nesting boxes 😅 I will be working on the coop this weekend some to make a few adjustments. And will certainly post more updated pics of the coop when done with said adjustments. Thank you very much for your input! I really appreciate it!

Wow! Thank you so much for your in depth response! For the paint would it change in any fact that the coop isn't OSB on the outside. I have water proof tyvec on all surfaces outside followed by cement board wood look siding on the outside. It was spendy but with the massive hail storms that...

Right! I actually have been thinking about it myself. with ways to basically chicken proof the roof. It was scrap from the roof when I was building the coop itself. I was thinking those foam pool noodles but im thinking they could peck it. I've also thought plastic tubing and just slitting it...

Thank you much for showing me how to do this!!
