In the Brooder
My wife and I are starting our chicken coop experience together for the first time. I am a type of person who does everything over the top. So that being said i am building a 8x8 coop with a 12x50 run and a movable chicken pen, we have 15 acres of property and plenty of areas for our birds to explore and eat. I have the foundation and two walls done. I am building it in my shop on 8x8 pressure treated skids. I plan on moving it with my tractor to its permanent spot. Been raining here in western Washington so building indoors is nice. My first question is about ventilation. I have purchased a 120v automatic wall fan for summer but i am looking for input on static vents. I plan on putting 5 soffit vents on each side of roof. its a single pitch roof. Will that be enough for 6 chickens in a 8x8 shed? We will have water and 50 amps of power to the coop and plan on interior lighting. I know i dont need that much power but its available and want the option of cameras and additional outside lights. Is there any specific lights that i need for interior or will LED be fine? I also plan on running all my wires Through seal tight and PVC to prevent pecking on wires.
