Hello, I have 9 laying hens that include one red sex link, one Plymouth Bar Rock, one Rhode Island Red, one Barnevelder, two Buff Orpington, three Silver Wyandotte. I got into laying hens when four were given to me after shown at local fair and have added additional hens. Anyone have any ideas about building a coop on a trailer?

It look's nice. Do you have a way to get in there to clean it out when you need to?

I have vinyl or linoleum that I got from a local store and shovel it out every morning wearin gloves and boots. Open the side door and use flat shovel and another shovel to take it out every morning.

I have seen coops with walk in doors. What are your thoughts on coops you can go into or opening doors and cleaning them out? I have noticed several coops while searching ideas on building coops.

Mine is a taller walk-in coop with an attached run.
