Here's my new coop with run

[CrazyPetunias]

We bought a 7x7 suncraft shed and built the run to go with it. The run is 6x12 and I used both chicken wire and 2x4 welded fencing to secure the sides.

Instead of putting a ramp on the chicken door, we decided to put cinderblocks on the inside and outside. The chicks use the blocks to hop in and out of the coop. I don't have pics for the inside but, there is an old wooden ladder set up on 4 cinderblocks for them to roost on. We will be adding the nesting boxes next month. (girls are only 9weeks right now)

So far they seem pretty happy with it all.

Will you be adding windows or ventilation vents?

 

[CrazyPetunias]

The windows in the door have only hardware cloth - I didn't put the plexiglass in. They are each about 2ft wide and the chick door is 1ft. I read that you need a 1ft vent for each 5sf of coop. I am hoping this will be enough.

It also have 2 small roof vents built in. not sure how much that helps tho.
