I built an A-frame coop, 4’W x 8’L x 4’ high walls with an A-frame style roof. At first, I placed one roost at about 35” off the coop floor and another roost about 15” off the coop floor. Lots of bickering, so I bout 2 roosts at the same height, 35” off the coop floor.
One of the coop windows is below the roosts and one is just about even with the roosts. I have some vents in the peaks of the roosts.
Do I need to lower the roosts for the winter? Will closing the windows be enough? I can try to draft-proof them.
I live in North Cal. Generally mild winters with very little snow, if any, but can get into the 30’s.
thank you!
Hard to se the roosts in the photo. These are the original roosts. Replaced with 2, 2x4 roosts and added a window to the back wall.
Hope this all makes sense!
