It would be a fun addition but I am between start of retirement and retirement money...

Ok I finally got pics this is the smaller coop that I use for my d’Uccles

So this is the small, how many chickens go in it?
What's the temp like inside on these hot days - it does look to have lots of ventilation.
Are there laying boxes that I am not noticing in there?

3 bantams, it’s not too hot in there but I know it can get warm. No laying box in this model, just that like nesting area in the corner

Here’s the big coop with the automatic door installed

More questions!
How many does this hold?
The skinny part is for nesting?
Are there any roosts?
So you just unclip/detach the run and roll it to a new patch of land?

I housed 4 standards in there, could probably hold 6 though
Yep
No, just the rack on the ground
There’s wheels under the coop part and you just roll the whole thing to new grass - that’s why there’s neat lil rectangles of sad grass in my yard

Thanks for the information. It looks better made and more intelligently made than a lot of the pre-fab coops I have seen.

It really is. When the automatic door isn’t installed you can just hose the entire thing down and they look good as new. I’ve had the big coop for about a year and a half and it’s still in fantastic condition

Would any of you like a *free* duckling? Big moma only hatched one. Shes not the greatest mom, and the other momma will only let it sleep with hers at nite. My idea & normal routine is chicken raises it til 4-6 wks, then by that point the other ducks take it under there wing. But its too young at this point to go with the ducks.
