We are pretty much done building our coop for now, but was hoping for input on the possibility of adding in a poop board or hammock. Here is my coop page. We are planning on starting with 4 birds, looking at Buff & Lavender Orp., Columbian Rock, RIR, Maran, and/or Wyondotte. We'll decide when we order!
This is the interior:
West wall (with nest boxes and main pop door):
East wall (with clean out door and extra pop door for future use):
Space available:
Top of pop door to top of wall: 29"
Back wall to window: 29"
(identical dimensions on the east wall above the clean out door)
The overall width of the coop is: 41" wide x 88" deep.
I would really like for the main roost to be at the north end of the coop as this is where they will have the most protection from the ventilation.
We live in a cold climate and I discovered the ease of cleaning frozen poop from the hammock/board too late, or I would have changed things around. I had originally planned for deep bedding, so the openings are 9" off the floor.
What would you do? Do I have any hope or am I simply SOL?
