Our nine chickies are in a coop at the corner of our three acres right now. It's a partition of a larger shed and I'm just not liking it now that winter had hit.
*Their door to go outside faces west to an open field. Lots of wind.
*No line of sight to the house. We already lost one buff to a predator back in September with another badly injured.
*Cement floor. I'd like a true deep litter if I could.
We have another shed that is much closer to the house. It has a dirt floor with doors that open up to an enormous lilac bush on one side and a shady piney area on the other. Very sheltered from the wind. Am I silly to want to up and move them now? DH will not be helping, that's for sure, since he built the roosts and walls for this one.
