I am making my own chicken coop - Help

[Ann1986]

For Future Reference. Have the roof boards themselves overhang the walls ;-)

I like the little cutout, nice abstract design!

You're family will be so surprised, I can't wait o hear what they think!
Do you already have chickens?

Haha yes me to
I wanted the roof to overhang but somehow miscalculated... I had it sawed beforehand in the shop those roof boards. To bad. Better next time

Anyway I made a video of the entire thing . Here it is:

Looks awesome, but You may need more ventilation.

Do you have any suggestions? Maybe drill holes in the wall near the top?

Great article here on ventilation.
Depends on your climate and sometimes on predator load.

Intresting thanks.

I live in Belgium so we have moderate climate. The house is only for them to sleep in, they have a big garden for themselves where they spend their day. So thats why it probably won't need much ventilation. They will only be in there during the night.
And every poop they make during the night I remove in the morning.

This is the inside.

The one sitting pole can be taken out

The lowest one is where they can jump on to get to the highest one
