i have my husband, father in law and uncle here today I help turn a 26 by 11 section of our pole barn into a new hen house. We have 18 babies coming . We also have a 12x16 or so coop and they will have connected runs. There is a door 15 feet in on the long side, and a window on the NW short side. The opening to the run will be on the SE SIDE.
There is also a small window on the east long side for ventilation. (Too much detail I'm sure)
So, questions are..
I would like to add separate sections within the coop, for breeding, sick birds, naughty birds, etc.. How do I divide this up? I don't want it to be hard to clean and if I'm not using the separate sections I want to be able to open them up to be usable to be entire flock..
Basically with the sections where do my roosts and best boxes and food go for function as well?
All input welcome!!!!!!
