Look what I started to build! Omelet Ranch East

[cherylcohen]

I started the TEENAGER coop for a May hatch. I started with the purina plans but modified to 6' x 3' to fit my other coop/run area.

I plan to add 3 nest boxes, 2 roost ladders (I think...or tree limb roosts with dropping board underneath) and the obvious doors. I'll have it open into the run that I plan to split in half.

ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Here is the purina coop...

How big do you envision your flock getting? I have 34 but they are teens as well. And I have 8 acres of room if needed. Will you have enough space for everyone in the run? I love the look/style/sturdiness of the teen pad! Make sure you get an XBox 360 or they will HOWL at you!

I'll probably 12 of the teenagers. So 10+12. They free range for a few hours each day. I think I'll be fine
