Coop unveiling

[Checota]

Just finished the coop for 11 full sized chicken mostly buckeyes they will also have free range on an acre and a half with electric net fencing. Love your thoughts.

I love seeing all that ventilation on the gable end and the partially-covered, partially open run.

You might have wanted more roof overhang though to keep rain out.

Pretty cool!
Curious what is the substrate in the run?
Might want to flip this window to be top hinged, so you can leave it propped open even during rain.

Oh, and.... Welcome to BYC! @Checota

It's easy to do, and then it's always there!

The substrate in hen house is 1/2 inch rubber stall mat cut to fit. Then there is 1 inch layer of sand. Perches are removable for cleaning every side but where door is has a window with plexi and behind that is hardware cloth. There is a makeshift door to place on inside to cover gable with lattice to keep dry during winter and bad weather.

There is a insert door for the inside to put in place during stormy weather and for winter.
