Finally finished before the heat gets here

[bonebrake]

Hey all. Chicken newbie here. Just finished my first coop...all before the 110 degree heat here in Phoenix. So, needless to say, I'm stoked. Although, the chickens were a bit confused by the rearrangement of their roost, but they'll get over it...I hope.

I think it has just enough shade and plenty of ventilation for our summers. Let me know what you think.

Nice job. With the bamboo, is there any other fence or material under it?

Looks great! What are your plans for when it turns cold?

It looks good. I like the idea of the bamboo to conceal the coop. How many hens are you going to keep in it?

Judging from the photo, I assume you also are an illegal operation.

I saw that corrugated roofing a Lowes. I was not too sure how it would hold up in the heat.

And as for the cold weather, well, it just doesn't happen here.

I would suggest having two watering jugs. If they manage to knock one over, they will still have a back up. Go without water for a couple hours here, and you are out of the chicken business.

Good Luck,

Rufus

PS If you live in the area I think you do, you had better put a lock on that door.

Nice coop you did a great job.

Thanks. We'll most likely limit the flock to four chicken, so don't really need to much more space. Thanks for the tips.
