Hey, So after building a initial coop and run for Big A**ed birds, wife wanted Bantam coop. So, I started building. Tried to incorporate many cool ideas I have seen on BYC. Besides all the basics as far as ventilation, space, light , windows, easy access, etc.... I decided to build a coop that has a small door in the middle of the house that could be opened for removal of shavings and poop come spring clean up time. So, this is what I did. Figure I can spread a tarp below the door and just shovel/sweep everything onto it, then drag it over to the compost pile. Simple enought, right? Give me your thoughts!
Here is new coop project and the door opening for clean out is in center of photo at floor level. Will have secure.. hinged door...that can swing up when clean out is necessary.
