Here is a picture of our coop, it has 3 different sections for 3 sets of chickens. Couldn't figure out how to fix a page, so I've just loaded up here.
FRONT OF COOP (there are 3 sections inside where they can roost at night)
If you are facing the front of the coop, this would be the Right side. The sheet looks tacky, I know. Been on the hubby to build a roof over 2 of the areas, we have just been so busy. That's why the boards are leaning up against the walls - so they can go under for shade.
This is the Left side of the coop. The wooden box usually holds live crickets, but we don't have any at the moment. They can eat 1000 in a weeks time if you let them.
This is the Left side. There are 2 doors, but they are for the same group of chickens. The first door leads to a shaded section with a fan and a door leading inside to the laying boxes and roosting spots. The second door leads to their run which is not shaded. There is also another spot at the back where we have our 2 japanese BTW roosters.
Little blurry, but this is the first door I was talking about in the picture above leading to the shaded area. The white japanese rooster doesnt' belong in here, he was just visiting. There are wooden green boxes on the top - the japanese roosters sleep in them at night. They have a ladder they climb leading into them.
This is the non-shaded portion that the 2nd door leads to. The fence you see is what separates my big flock from my japanese roosters.
OK here's the section for my japanese roosters. They climb up the ladder at night to get into the green wooden boxes in the above picture.
If you are facing the front of the house, this is the RIght side. WE have 7 chickens in here, all <4months old. They were the mutts my mutt rooster and BO's hatched. There is a fence in the pen, but they can go on either side, we really need to take the fence out of the middle (where the sheet is hanging.) They also have a door leading inside. We have 5 fans inside, 3 for big section and 1 for each other section. We have to put a roof over this section, it's coming. Now they just go inside under fan or go behind the board for shade.
And here's what we call our big group, one mutt rooster and 13 Buff orphington hens. They spend 80% of their day free ranging, really just go into the coop to lay eggs, roost, eat, drink or cool off.
*****We started off with just a small part, and as you can see, we just kept adding on because we kept getting more chickens. I should have taken pictures of the inside, it's really nice too. This house was a gift from Santa to my daughter for a playhouse a few yrs back. Well, she never cared anything about it, so we asked her could we use it for chickens. She was just as excited as we were about getting chickens, so she agreed. And that's our story. Thanks for looking!!!
