You can click on the My Coop link under my avatar to read the coop build. It will tell you everything I did to make the coop.Have a photo from the outside? That would be helpful
Thank you! I'm more interested in the raised style so I can place movable trays under the floor for easy cleaning, please check my reply to @ValerieJHello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Well ventilated, DRY coop with poop boards that are cleaned daily and dumped into a compost bin when full.
I recommend a walk-in style coop.
That was convincing! No mesh. But still more into the raised style to make use of the ground under..I don't think that would work nearly as well as you think. The mesh will catch the poop and you'll have a real scraping mess on your hands. I hope you looked up the poop boards that use sand and pdz. Much easier. You definitely want a walk in coop. You will thank me for that advice one day, or say "why didn't I listen" when you're trying to climb into a chicken hutch for cleaning!
Is this because you have limited space? If you have to go with a raised coop, make sure it is high enough to easily clean, and make one side able to be opened almost entirely for cleaning. Then get children's hoes and rakes for cleaning. The poop boards wont work, so you'll have to do what I do. I just clean the coops every day, taking all soiled straw or shavings out and replacing it. Because I didn't start with a walk in coop and enclosed run, my work is a lot more than it would have needed to be.That was convincing! No mesh. But still more into the raised style to make use of the ground under..
