Making my coop for the 4 time

[AnnaWolf]

A predator-proof run with 24/7 access makes a lot of difference.

I love getting the food and water out of the coop. It keeps things tidy and encourages the chickens to roam around in the fresh air getting plenty of exercise.

Yes predator proof for me. Would'nt recomend it for others.
Love it too, chickens should be outside scratching. So much healthier and fun to watch.

A nice illustration of why we like to know people's general location.

Not just climate, but predator load too.

What, exactly, will you be storing?

Will you be able to reach all the way to the back of the storage section? Will you put access doors on both sides if you can't?

@3KillerBs I wil be storing food, scratch, grit, handbroom, fake eggs, egg basket.
I get my hay and straw from the girlfriend of my dad, who has sheep and a proper chicken coop.
I have a animal medicine cabinet in the shed.
The containers I have for food and sctatch are 40cm high.
And yes to doors evrywhere possible.

You learn over the years.
Have dealt with lots of animal injury and sickness, time is of the essence in most casus so I try to be prepared.

Ok so this is my idea fo doors, its hard to draw with your fingers, the green is the positioning of the turnpoint.
Any idea how wide the overhang of the roof must be?

I like the way you're planning access on two sides so that you can reach all of the coop.
