Help, help.... We are in the middle of coop construction (4x5x6) and I had originally planned an egg door about waist height and a cleanout door on the bottom. Well, DH has a bad back, so bending over and crawling in to clean out the coop is not the best plan. If we build a full door, where should I place the nesting boxes and where is the best location for Roosts? Do I need a metal cloth floor under the roosts or can they be completely open. Is it dangerous to have the chickens roosting too high? Has anyone built a moveable shelf to be able to clean better?
If anyone has some good inside shots of their coop or good ideas, please post! Here's a few shots of our coop and run. Where the wine box and plywood are I would like to have a door to the right to be able to walk in. Nests to the left and roosts on the right I think.
I only want to build this thing once, if you all know what I mean.....
