Hello I'm new to the page but am loving all the great info. I recently became interested in getting a few hens and after tons of research decided to build my own coop to fit my yard. It's 6'x4' and have planned for the chicken door in the front under the extended roof, a larger side door for cleaning and access to the bedding (designed for deep bedding method) and the two nesting boxes in the back. All 3 sides will have hardware clothed windows above. I live in the desert so ventilation was a big consideration. the 4th side will be up against a fence so not planning on any doors or windows on that side. Take a look so far and let me know if you have any better suggestions before I move forward. Thanks!
