First, you should know, I am the worst at making decisions. If I have to decide between a two colors of a shirt or something, I agonize over it. You can imagine how I've agonized over this coop. I'm surprised I don't have an ulcer.
I've finally decided to order from this company. http://www.gardensolution.com/
I can put in a 10x12 without a permit, so I'll either get a 10x12 or an 8x12. I haven't even decided which way to orient it yet, with the long side being the front or vice versa. <sigh>
Suggestions on whether that will make a different would be helpful.
I do know that I want to partition off part of the inside of the coop, in a manner very similar to what is shown by Babe77 in her 'almost done' thread. I was thinking of putting the nest boxes up against the partition so one could collect eggs without going onto the litter inside the coop part. Also for storage and then to separate out chickens later if I need to for some reason.
Also, windows - I would love any suggestions about what kind of windows and how many, where to place them, etc. I would like to put shutters on them to make it 'cute.'
I think the company will put in a pop door for me, so have to decide where to put it.
At some point in the future, this may become a studio/guest cottage with a cottage garden planted around it, so it needs to be cute and ornamental in the yard.
I need to order this tomorrow!!!! So please give advice asap. Think of it as spending someone else's money to build your dream coop.
