Advice about coop, roosting bars, chicken math, etc

Yes, your (very general) location very much impacts coop design, layout, etc.

You don’t need to provide an actual address, just something like Texas Hill Country, Pacific Northwest, DC suburbs, middle Tennessee, etc.

Hello. We managed to go from 2 chickens to 9 chickens in the space of a couple of weeks, We need to look at designing a new coop. We have them separated at the moment, which is working but I'd like them to all be together soon.

Our plan is to design and build our own coop. So what I would like to know is what worked for you, what didn't and what would be your ideal set up???

Are you asking me, the original poster? If not, you may want to start your own thread. You'll get more and better response that way. Good luck with your coop.

@rabifaf It can take a while to figure out how to maneuver around posting, etc. If you’d like to start your own thread as @NetherLeeFarm suggests, go to the main page of the Coop & Run subforum and click Post Thread (see below.) then you can type in your post.

You can start a clean thread this way, specify to your situation.

It’s the time of year when people start thinking about getting started with chickens, or making major changes to their flocks, and it’s wonderful that you’re thinking through this stuff first.
