Oh! Didn’t know I could do that! I’ll be sure to get on that! But for the time being, I’m from North Carolina. The highs for summer are usually in the 90s and the lows for winter being somewhere in the 20s. We don’t get a lot of snow, even when it does snow.
The only issue with chicken coops you buy is that they won’t be sufficient enough for 6-10 hens :/
Because those are tiny and have enough space for like one full sized hen.
I’m not sure about the coop, but
!!!
I think I got super lucky with my playhouse then. I got it for free and just added a floor, a door, and hardware cloth to the openings. Never have had a leak. We've also extended on it since this picture and it still stays nice and dry.
Hi, I'm awaiting for my pullets to arrive and decided to go with a similar playhouse......BIG MISTAKE........ I got it thinking that since I wouldn't need to know how to build one. I found that it would have been so much easier to build myself and less expensive. All the openings need to closed up/windows etc. The wood is pretty thin. I have to reinforce the inside. So far I've put up thin foam insulation doubled up, but I need to figure out what to cover the walls with. Thinking about using sheet vinyl flooring for walls over the Styrofoam. Not good with power tools so thought this would be easier. The roof will definitely need to be reinforced within a year. I will seal any open spaces but won't be enough for roof. I could go on. I do not recommend it at all. It's cute but not practical. I will make sure though that it is 100% predator proof and warm for winters and cool for the summers. I will also use a digital thermometer inside coop that I can read from inside my home. The picture of chicken is one of the chickens I chicken sat for my neighbors and I fell in love and decided to have my own. I made it through a blizzard and a crazy wild hurricane like 2 day storm and learned a lot from that. I will post when I finish with my coop and I'd like to see yours.
