my first coop

[TravisE]

This is my coop. i still have to paint it, and add a door to the bottom the coop. also a few latches. the coop is 4ft x 6ft x 4ft. i have .5 inch wire 2 ft off the ground. for easer clean up. the run is 6ft x 7ft. they will be allowed to run in a fenced in yard as well. i have 4 red sex links and 2 columbain rock cross chickens. they are around 5 to 6 week old. do i have room to add one more? my neighbor is going to give me a dominique. if i have room for it.

i like your coop. good looking. don't know about the size. someone else will have to help you w/that.

Very nice !!!!! Do they go in those boxes ? I have never seen any one do that before.. the General rule of thumb is 4 square ' Per chicken. but If they are allowed to free range going from 6 to seven might be stretching it but probably do'ble ..

they go in the boxes. they like to roost on them right now. funny birds. i guest that will change as they get older. i have pine shaving in them right now.
