Lolz i was actually about to post something like this.

I dont have anything chicken related but dreams at the moment. But here goes.

My dream coop is actually a simple coop modified to what i want. Inside would have a solar powered camera so i can 'peep' in on my feather-friends. A solar powered ventilation system to keep the air from getting stale. And a spot that would be kept warm in the cold weather so if they get chilly they can huddle until they arent chilly no more. The coop would have 2 doors on on the front and one on the back to make rotation easier in the spring. Essentially the coop would be situation in the middle of 2 sections and when its time to rotate the open door will be close and vice versa.

Thats just the coop lolz my run dreams go a little bit further with it being mostly enclosed. it would have a heated spot and heated water bowl for winter time. Essentially my Chickie's would be "free range" without being free range as they would have more space than they would know what to do with. I would add swings and toys, and various forms of enrichment (ive had dogs and cats and i understand how important this is for almost any animal). This enclosure would be quadrupled to make a square for rotating in the spring. I may even go for 6 quadrants but for the time being ill stick with 4. The reason for this is that i would have 2 sections for my chickies one for my egg layers and one for my silkies and each spring everybody would rotate to the other sections designated for them. There ill be doors going to each section as well as out of the enclosure.

I dont have any pics to add but eventually i will!
