I acquired an 8' by 8' open wall coop with only chicken wire and a metal roof to use for some beagles I was raising. The dogs never used it and still don't so I decided to turn it into a livable chicken coop and get some chickens to hopefully lay eggs, entertain the kids, and add to our family with us and the other animals. I've about got my nest boxes built but I'm not sure how to go about protecting against the arkansas weather and elements. Its really cold in the winter and muggy hot in the summer. Advice or ideas?

Welcome to BYC!!
