Okay. I guess I'll have to find plans for a bigger coop. I want to base my plans off of the chicken tractor coops from Lumnah Acres. Thank you for all of your help.7x7=49=WAY TOO SMALL a coop for 30 birds!
I'm personally shocked that you have 9 birds in a prefab and they come out of it with both eyes and their scalps intact.
If you truly want to provide a proper home for your birds, you need to provide much more space. Unless you have a fully predator proof run attached to the coop you need to shoot for 4 sq ft per bird in the coop. That is a big coop for 30 birds.
What is in the pen? The floor is one half packed dirt/mulch and the other half is concrete. There's a tree in the bottom middle of the pen.
The 'coop' is the enclosed predator and weather proof place they sleep at night.What is in the pen?
