If you're looking for active, I've got one of these installed in my backyard office (96 square feet) that does pretty well. It's quiet and solar powered. Been pleased with it so far.

No bigger than what I have that might be a good idea. I might look into something like that for our dog house too.

Still have roof, trim, more perches, paint and run. But it is coming along nicely. Rain is holding up progress at the moment.

You've got rain and we're in the middle of a heatwave week! 90s & 100s!

Question: How long do we need to keep them in their Coop at first & can we let them out in their attached run in a few days? We put our 12 Cheeps(almost 5 & 6 weeks) in their Coop for the first time! Not great pics, the sun was making the light all weird. We will prob add another roost, stagger it a little lower, but just needed to get them in there & used to their new home. Finally out of our Garage, yay!! We will add a droppings board & will put the nesting boxes under that on the floor, sitting on 2x4's. Food & water is in a corner sitting up on a wooden type box, just up out of the shavings. Also, will we need to build a ramp for the roost?

.

2 or 3 days in the coop should do fine before letting the cheeps out. We had our new birds in the coop for 2 days and they were going stir-crazy so we let them out to range. They found their way back to the coop to roost just fine. Love your roomy coop for all those cheeps.

So much rain in my area. Anyone have a boat if I need help

The contractor and workers actually did show up today and dug the post holes for the chicken coop patio and for the people patio. Hope they don't leave these 2-foot deep holes in the ground for more than a day - the chickens are giving the huge piles of dug-up dirt a wide berth as they walk around them. The workers had fun feeding earthworms to the chickens as they were working on the post holes!

Please don't get discouraged because someone happens to disagree with you! We all have different circumstances with which we raise our hens. Please don't stop sharing what you've found to work for you!

No no... Don't be afraid to post links! That's how folks learn! I didn't mean to come across harsh... If I did, I apologize! Just wanted to warn folks against that particular type fan in a chicken coop.
