We’ve been working on a bigger coop for our flock. Ultimately we’ll have no more than 6 chickens (which is a little tight for this coop but we’ll have 5 in here to start with our roo in his own bachelor pad for the next year and evaluate at that point)
It’s 4x4 and height is about 3 ft angling down to 2 ft. We’ll add nesting boxes to the back wall, extending them out to preserve footage within.
Roosting bars are up about a foot.
We’ve discussed adding a 3rd door to the side that doesn’t currently have an opening to screen off in the summer months. The other side door will mainly be used for cleaning and the top will remain on hinges for easy access.
Top 4 narrow holes are for ventilation, there will be angled vents with screen backing. And we’ll add some sort of roofing material to create an overhang.
So, besides on the small side, what are we missing?
