Ok, so I fell in love with Hobbit Hole coops, I mean who can't they are so bloody cute!
Anyhow, what do you all think of them. This is my first time doing chickens as we are working on homesteading. Logically to us this seemed a decent Idea. Build the 'chicken run' up around them so they have more roaming area. It looks better from afar, and we thought that building up around it could act as natural insulation against the cold/wind. Thankfully my father who's a hobby woodworker offered to help build it.
So, I need to ask. Is it logical? Would building up around it trap in to much moisture even with vents? Or is it a pretty sound idea.
It wouldn't be built till mid summer/fall so we'd have temp coops till then but this is the idea we are looking at.
Enough room to walk in, clean, vent, and roam room on and around.
This is strickly for our egglayers/pets.
