No I wasn't attacking I was confused. I now see that it's more about the chicken keepers convenience and maybe not what is good for the birds. I would love to see the inside of a walk in coop design to see how you set up the nest boxes & roost to see how the birds navigate that large area.
When you walk in are you walking in the bedding on the floor. Again I'm not attacking or criticizing I'm just curious how that works. I was under the impression the raised coop was helpful when cleaning and replacing the hemp/straw flooring in the coop by putting a wheel barrow under the ledge and pulling it out at waist level. When using a walk in type do you use a rake and a shovel?
Also, hitting your head on a 2x4 rafter, how low is the roof of the coop you are talking about?
I don't have the coop page done, but you can see many of Neuchickenstein's features in my hot climate article: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/hot-climate-chicken-housing-and-care.77263/
I use a deep litter system (moist, actively composting over a dirt floor)* and haven't cleaned my coop out completely in over a year. Planning to dig some out this winter to fill a garden bed and fertilize my orchard.
I move litter with a pitchfork and need to buy a scoop shovel.
The roof on the Little Monitor Coop is just over 4 feet. I can't get into it.
The brooder, converted from a structure we don't build, is 4 feet tall. I used to clean it by rolling it on it's side so I could easily fork material off the ground. I had to put a floor into it after losing 7 chicks to blacksnakes so it's back to crouching torture.
As far walking in the bedding, what of it? I wear my rubber muck boots in the coop and run.
