Added new coop to the homestead!!!

[MarkRainbolt]

Over the summer I built a new coop for the girls. The coop on the left is 6x6 with a 3x4 brooder off the back side. The run is 18 x10. After I got it done I decided that I needed more coop space because I wanted more chickens!!!!! So the coop on the right is 10x6. Both coop’s have automatic coop doors and the run has a automatic door as well so they can go back and forth from run to yard area. Both coop’s have jute rope wrapped roost bars. I also built a 55 gallon automatic heated waterer so they have plenty of water. I also have 2 grandpa feeders. I have 23 Rhode Island reds that will start laying at the end of September. I built a rollaway nest box

for the coop on the left and just bought a Best Nest Box for the coop on the right.

Nice! Is the top, open area, all ventilation?

Yes all 4 sides of each coop has ventilation. The one on the left has a total of 12 feet of ventilation, and the one on the right has 16 feet of ventilation.
