I am new to the site and to chickens. I have had my chickens for about 4 months. They were already laying when they were given to me. I made a quick make shift coop/shelter for them and it worked great until about 2 months ago it got really windy and it flipped over, with them in it. I turned it back over and wireed it down but they were so scared they would no go back in it. It was freezing cold so I let them free range in the barn for about a week until I got this coop done. They have not laid an egg since the windy day there house blew over, with them in it! I just installed a light on a timer to see if that helps. I have some trim pieces to put up yet and button up some wiring, but that can wait till its warm out. Let me know what you guys and gals think. Its my first attempt at building a coop. This site is full of great info.
