Wow, it looks awesome! Great find, and wonderful job restoring it! I'm sure it'll serve you well and your birds will love it!

You have good ventilation. What if you have extreme weather? Are you located in a warm weather area?

 

[nelgkel]

still need to touch up and add window on top half of door for ventilation....


MY HUBBY SAYS.....NO MORE IDEAS!!! I just keep on adding to the work list!! LOL Ya'll are great!!

took off the 2 by 4 they had laying down on the front of the shelf and put a 2" by 6" and put it with the 6"up so we could make a poop frame....
still have to paint roost frames and put 1" by 1" wire on them...then put roosts over it!!! poop will fall through wire into linoleum lined area filled with shavings and DE....

yes, we live in FL!!! we are going to put in frames inside the coop to slide up over the front window for bad weather...although, we just recently had an AWFUL thunderstorm and it was completely dry inside....the front faces WEST.... the door is facing NORTH....back wall faces EAST....

still want to add a little more ventilation on door and South WAll....back wall has soffit ventilation...

WE FOUND A TREASURE FOR SURE!!! going to take pics and send to the guy who gave it to us!! he recently acquired it with a foreclosure home and his wife did NOT want a chicken coop, she may change her mind after she sees what it coulda been!!

ANY IDEAS WHERE TO PUT THE NEST BOXES????

You want to access from inside or out? What about the side opposite the door for outside access. Under the dropping board is another place. You can hang your waterer and feeder under there too saving floor space
