No please don't be embarrassed! I showed my DH and he and I love them! Infact we have built doors on 2 sides of our coop and added windows on the other two sides. So that we could get some cross breeze going thru it and when I saw yours I told my DH we should just make screen doors for now and later on when it gets cool to cover the doors with something that will keep them warm! He likes the idea and we have several rolls of screen in the shed already. Our coop is homemade and it is our first with out any experience we don't know how it will work... We are going to learn from it though!
Question... does anyone here use open air coops. As in no solid walls...just a wire fencing sort of pen with roosts and nest boxes with a roof of some sort. I ask because I saw a pic of one on another forum and I think my birds would like it in the summer.

Just side note, the screen needs to be durable/thick enough so that the claws of coon can't rip it open. Hardware cloth is a pain to work with, scratches you up, but very durable. Good luck, and send pic's of yor coop when you can! OK?Awesome, girl, this is making my heart happy. Happy Chickens, down south, living the good life!!!
I was thinking about that a bit ago... lol We will find something to use. Thank you! When we get it done I will post some pic's.Just side note, the screen needs to be durable/thick enough so that the claws of coon can't rip it open.
