Coop ideas

[typitts12]

Hey guys I need some help with this coop does this coop need a roosting bar on the far end? The other end is a nesting box. Do I put the feed and water in the coop? Please look at this coop.

Welcome to BYC!

All coops need a roost bar for the birds to roost on at night. They also need a nest box for laying and good ventilation in the coop. You do not need to put feed and water in the coop unless they are cooped up in the coop and they don't need food or water in the middle of the night.

You might want to check out this page in our learning center here on BYC. Lots of good reads on designing the coop and what birds need in the coop...

And while you are in the mood to read, you might also do some reading in our learning center on all the aspects of keeping poultry from raising your new babies, feeding adult birds and keeping them healthy and safe...

Yep, on the roosting bar. Feed and water can be inside or outside in a sheltered area.
