coop add-on

[junkman56]

this picture is the original coop

here are a few pictures of my add-on, outside view and inside view


this is the rear of the coop, as you can see the addition is new wood, the right side is 3'
the left side is 4', the post in the middle is holding up my bird netting

​

this is a shot with the nesting boxes and window that were on the old coop, and I just moved the side out.

this is the 3' add-on and this is the side that I will move the new chicks to for the see but don't touch

this is a pic of the poop board and roost, the pop door is behind the feeder with the weight attached. the poop board is 2 ft. deep the roost is about 1 ft. above it

this is showing the fence between the older hens and where the chicks will be

​

this pic shows the ramp , nesting boxes, poop board and roost

this pic shows the ramp going from the floor to the roost, the ramp is about 23 degree angle. the pvc pipes are grit and oyster shells

​

the coop measures 13 ft. from side to side and 5 ft. deep, which is 65 sq. ft. of floor space. I hope this works for 14 chickens total, until I get the itch to add on and get more chickens lol. the outside run is 25 ft. x 56 ft.

Great pics.
That looks GREAT!!
Congrats!
Can't wait to see chicks in there

You may need some angle braces on the board supports.

So the big ramp to the board should be plenty.
I'd lose the smaller one, it's too steep to be of use, at least coming down it.
You could move the roost to the bottom of those brackets,
easier access of them to just hop up and down.
Just some thoughts, might work out fine as is once they get used to the changes.

thank you for the comments, I will add angle braces to the poop board, and I will lower the roost, so its about 6" above the poop board.
