changing up a coop design

[nataliewipf]

Lots of things I would change on that coop/run design. The way it is designed now, rain water runoff will go straight into the run. Could move the run to the gable end opposite the clean out door, but I'd just do a slanted roof instead of a gable roof and have the run on the high side of the slant. Doesn't appear to have anywhere near enough ventilation. I would keep the nest boxes exterior to the coop as shown.

How many birds are you planning? Since Seramas are so small you could probably get away with 2 sq ft/bird, but I'd make it at least 3 sq ft/bird.

i was thinking of doing a single slant roof too. rain run off to the back side (nghbrs fence line ha ha) i agree about ventilation- i planned to add some to the sides.
i think i'm thinking 6-8 total birds. but want room for just in case i can't say no to a fluff nugget
