Anyone have pic of Large coops?

Jimmoose - you must not live in an area that gets hail! I too put the poly roof on and after 2 great weeks, we had major hail in North Texas and now I have several holes covered by white duct tape! So, while it brought great light into my coop, I'm now going to have to replace it with at least the metal roof. Nice plans! Gail

Many thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I'm from Edisto Island SC.
Actually, I'm just the handyman around here and pretty much do what
I'm told, just as most of the other guys hanging out do. Its OK, I'm good
with it and its proof that domestic harmony has great value.
K-Chick, I could put 40 nesting boxes on the walls of this coup and could
open both sides as well. If you needed more room, just enlarge the thing
by a couple of feet in all directions. Just size to fit the amount of chickens
you have. We are in a warm climate so full enclosure is not necessary.
I also told everyone the wrong thing, we have 36 chickens in her right
now with 25 on the way. With the runs its plenty of room with the addition
of more nesting boxes put on the back and side wall, still plenty of room
to roam also. We also feed them fresh greenery from two additional gardens both winter and summer.
Ranchhand, thanks for the welcome! I'm right down the road from you
and pass through Hollywood daily on my way to Charleston.
We love the chickens and have plenty of fresh eggs for family and friends.
Interesting birds with their own society, most of our birds are personable
and have been hand raised, they are tame and loving, thanks to my wife.
I'm pretty much a goose guy. We raise white and saddleback
Sabastopol geese and love them dearly. We just had 4 hatch and have
15 or so additional eggs in our incubator. Thanks for allowing me to
take part. Thanks again.

How bout some geese?
