looking for pictures of an 8x8 coop

[Bearsfan]

Be careful with the "roof slanted one way" if you get snowstorms in your area.

I'm not sure how to have a vent open at the top and not have this happen....

My coop is an 8X8 shed, with a white light for "daylight" and a red light for heat. I have about 18-23 birds in there and they seem to stay warm enough. During the coldest part of the winter (down to -35*) I add a 2nd red light to keep the temp up high enough so the water doesn't freeze. I have tried every type of heated waterer, but the girls always unplug it.

I don't know what temps you are dealing with, but here is what I came up with.

Good luck!!!

ETA: This picture makes it look like it's tipped forward. It's just the camera angle. It really does sit level.

Yikes! I have a hinged, awning style flap on my top vent, attached with chains to the eaves. I can adjust the opening so that the flap is almost all of the way down. We only get snowstorms here once in a blue moon, but we do have windy nights and I want to try to block the wind from entering the coop as much as possible.

This is my original coop--it started out as an 8' x 8' that we split down the middle to house ducks on one side and my Brahmas on the other. We added another 8' x 8' onto it to expand it.

Here are some pics:

If you click on 'my BYC page' link under my av and scroll to the bottom you will see my coop - it's an 8 x 10 - I have a tack area in the front - to keep feed etc so I dont have to be in the weather as much. I love this! Feed, a couple gallons of water in case of a storm, treats, bales of pine shavings, cleaning supplies, rakes, broom, (all food items and whatnot are in plastic bins to discourage rodents. Very happy with the choice we made - even if I had it to do over again, I wouldn't change a thing.

*inside the top roost is now a 2" x 6" - so the girls can keep their feet warm. . .the lower roost we left as we had it, so they have a choice.

Built from a combination of two different plans I found. Back door opens up to a 20x10 high fence run. Just open the back door and they are out. Have a lot of problems here with fox and other predators so actually built a prison type top to the fence to keep them from jumping in when the snow gets deep. Left side is all roost and the right side is laying boxes and food/water. Have electricity so I can turn on a heater for the water and a heat lamp when the temps drop below 15 at night. Doors open in so I can get in and out when it really snows (live in Park City UT so this time of year get FEET of snow).

Here is a picture of ours. The "foot print" is 8x9 with the coop area itself being 5x8. Everything is on our page if you need more.
