My husband built a nice little chicken coop - 8 x 4, but with chicken math, I'm feeling a little cramped. I'd like it larger. Also, the perches are too high, but of course, they're nailed in. I don't really like the perch arrangement. I also don't feel at peace about the nest box arrangement. There need to be more of them that they would actually use, instead of all insisting on using the same one because we don't really have really nice nest boxes. The coop is a little dark, I'd like more window space, and the interior is a little cramped, kind of a box within a box, so that the use of space isn't that efficient. (They do free range all day)
Of course, I don't complain too much because my husband put a lot of time and effort into this coop and, well, how can I say I would really rather tear this one down and build a really nice big one? Ha. Plus, it would be expensive... Oh, and it has to pass my husband's test of looking more like a garden structure than a piece of plywood stuck in the field, so it's not like we could use scrap lumber so much.
So I just wondered if anyone else had the coop redecorating blues.
You'd think was my house. Maybe a little wallpaper and paint... HA!
