Favourite coop feature and anything you'd like to change.

If you could redo your coop what would you change? What are you glad you did? Must haves for future coops?

Well, the answers to most of your questions are on my coop page.

But, if I had to start all over from scratch, besides the stuff that I mention loving on my coop page, i would:

- build a Woods Coop https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/445004/woods-style-house-in-the-winter

I would add a run. My chickens are free range and they ate up all my lawn!

I wish it was bigger....but I did a lot of research and it works pretty well.

POOP BOARDS are the "BEST" addition yet and a must have. Handles well over ½ of the poop in my set up keeps ammonia smell in check 3½" below roost excellent for catching eggs laid through the night (roost are in cups for easier removal and cleaning). I recently friction fit a piece of vinyl flooring over my poop board.it makes clean up even easier; Pop out; Scrap; Hose; Pop in.

Winter months even easier flex over compost bin DONE!

Easy peasy!.




Redo: I would have cut my pop door up 12" from the floor of my coop instead of 6".
