Need coop plans

[Ptera]

My local library had books of coop plans. You could also look up shed plan books and slightly modify a shed into a coop.

I am in the process of building a hoop coop; its easy, doesn't require great carpentry know how and you could get it finished pretty quickly. I would use cattle panels on yours though if you went that route.

Perfect my vote it easier to change that a bit then the hoop coop

Thanks. Looks interesting and fairly simple. A lot easier than building a regular run possibly. Built my poop table today. Went to farm supply to get PDZ and they never heard of it. Showed it to them on phone and they are looking into it. Can pick some at TS until then.

I just use shavings in mine PDZ is great but I use a small plastic rake and plastic snow shovel to clean without extra cost just my humble opinion

Does it get messy. How deep?

I use less than 1/4", sift poops out daily.
