Hello everyone!
I'm looking to build a small enclosure for two large fowl Ameraucana pullets I'm looking to raise, that'll suit them well once they reach maturity. I've got around 8'x4' of space to work with in terms of an enclosure (though I can clear more space if needed), and I'm looking for a design that's as budget friendly as possible. Predation and protection from the elements won't be too big of an issue since the coop will be sitting under a roof, and the largest predator that could harm them would be a big rat or something similar.
My biggest concerns are ventilation as well as nesting and perching space, so I'd like a cheap and easy design that doesn't compromise on those factors. Ventilation is especially important to me, since summers here in Florida are no joke. I'd say my budget maximum is around $100-150!
