I finally wrote a coop article for my coop, The Burrow!

I would love to know if there is information that you think is missing or confusing. Thanks!!

I went and read the article, Your article is impressive, and informative. Cant think of anything I would change or add, except; If possible,, electricity to coop for heated waterer.
I did not see anything about heated waterer, or I missed it.

WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Nice article and photos, lots of good info and tips. I also built a coop (not my avatar coop) during spring 2021 and I feel your pain on lumber prices! I refer to mine as the Taj Ma-Coop, but your build makes mine look like a shanty.

One question: Although you referred to it as plywood, laid on top of the floor the framing, it looks like OSB in the photo.

But I think it's a great piece, and your birds are lucky!

Thank you! I will add that when I can get out and get some photos of my heated waterer setup.

The prices were absolutely painful. But once we had those baby chicks, everything was in motion; I couldn't picture rehoming them!

I just confirmed it was OSB- updated. Thanks for pointing that out!
