our coop design

[preciouschick]

Our coop consists of a 10 x 6 coop with an attached run and an added 10 x 10 dog run. We dug 3 feet down on the outside of both and put chicken wire down with some barbed wire. we covered the 10 x 10 with some other wire fencing. The 2 are connected with a tunnel that has a door to Close them into the main coop and run if the need arises. We couldn't get the two structures together so we did the tunnel. Funny thing is that they will all cram themselves into the 14 x 18 inch tunnel. Go figure!! A feeder is hug on the inside main door to the coop. Plus a hanging waterer inside also. I do keep water and food outside in the run as well. I have just started to let them free range a bit. they love that!!
Debating on a coop light. What kind? Should I do it at all. 13 eggs a day is a lot. I know I can give them away. Please comment on the coop.
thanks

Super cute coop! I love the tunnel and the chicknik table! I just have windows on my coop so I have no input on the light haha

I have windows as well. I guess a light would depend on if I want 13 eggs a day all winter. I was worried about them molting at the wrong time though. Do your chickens lay a lot without a light in winter?

They haven't started laying yet so can't say!
