Chicken house

[KSnellgrose]

Chicken house is on it way. So far this is day 3.
Day 1: foundation and base
Day 2: walls and roof build and put up plus window in.
Day 3: putting metal and roof on.
Day 4: finish the inside of the building (roosting bars, nesting boxes, cut out chicken door). Then ramp into chicken run.

Nice job,,,,, Do you have your ventilation figured out???


WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and

Yes, we are putting in some small vents on top

The accepted standard for ventilation is 1 square foot for each bird, open 24/365. There is nothing more important than ventilation when one builds a coop.

Good effort!

Thank you! There are some spacing between the roof and walls we are thinking about leaving a small space open to allow air flow as well.

Looks great. I've never been in an all metal coop before. I'd be interested to know later how it's working. Is it a metal hot box or how does that work? Not sure what your climate is. I feel like if possible I'd want wood walls interior with metal siding. But I'm usually over kill.... Ventilation will be key.
