I am considering making a new coop for my Silkies (in the incubator now). My current coop is 8x10. There are 10 nesting boxes, 5 of which are right on the ground. I have 4 roosts at varying heights from 18" all the way up to 5 ft, along with a ladder roost whose first rung is probably 6 inches off the ground. However, my current coop has 30 birds in it. They have plenty of room to spread out so there hasn't been any squabbling, but the snow storms we received this week convinced me that I probably should NOT add any more birds to this coop.
So I am browsing coop ideas that would be ideal for Silkies. Right now, I'm thinking I may end up keeping somewhere between 4 - 8 Silkies out of the batch I'm incubating so it would need to be big enough for that many birds.
Please share pictures or ideas....
