Welcome to the coop! I use the Forums and Articles tabs at the top of the page to do research. You can get lost for hours. It's nice to know you are minutes away from getting help with questions and emergencies! I always check in the "What's New" section as well at the top of this page. This way I can read how I may have a similar question or help give some advice.

Welcome to Backyard Chickens. This is a great place to explore and hang out.
Great Photos. Put a man door in ?
The white coop looks great.

Yes. I know it blends in as it's a tight seal. If you look at the first picture in post #4 you can see a brighter blue shelf like and a thin pine board. I took an oscillating cutter and I cut a door at an angle all the way around 2'x5'. There are furring strips glued in place on one side with hinges. The other three edges mesh tight and are air tight. The door disappears almost when closed. That little roof section doesn't leak and the coop stays dry despite the large seam of the door.


Thank you everyone for the warm welcomes. This is a nice site. We are going to get more Iso Browns this spring, None here yet. Looking forward to learning a lot more this year.


I cropped that picture.

Where is the ventilation in this coop? That's probably the most important feature a coop should have.
