Inside Coop Ideas Needed Please

[Aban]

Can you please post some pics of the inside of your coop...I am trying to create the inside of our "Cluckingham Palace" and we are lost as it gets. We are tiring to have a self-sustaining coop as possible and as natural as possible. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

For your climate, an open sided structure is best. You can leave the ground as its floor. You can use enough litter that it only needs to be raked out once or twice a year. The bigger their area, the less work. I have 9 hens in a 70 x 70 yard and an oversize, dirt floor coop. The coop gets raked out once or twice a year, and the yard gets mowed of weeds (they eat all the grass) a few times each summer.

i see it, thank you...I will have to read up on that. It seems as though some are open sided coops/runs. and some are like a shed with a "run" with a fence. I will be reading over it for a while, but I am sure that I will be able to find some wonderful ideas of how to do ours. cause my beloved was going to do an insulated metal like building and a chainlink covered run out of recycled materials that he found. we may need to adjust the build before he gets to far into it LOL
