This is mine. It used to house a steamer and other various washing equipment. It has water and power thank goodness. Pretty ugly. Waiting on the wife to pour a coat of color on it and make it look better.

The wife? What does she say about that?

Kinda like this. Now keep in mind i bought these chicks for me and my daughter and my wife was avidly against them...today i came home to her and the baby sitting in the chair together watching the chicks play.

Hi thanks for the tip. What's the reason behind that ?

Hi Kyle, The reason is that chickens will roost in the highest space available. If your nests are too high, they will sleep in them and dirty them where you'll be cleaning them out constantly.

So all you chicken guys
a fast question is it necessary the coop to be in the free range area? the thing is that i could have a ready coop and save tons of money with cement floor roof and really larger than what i need the thing is it cant be connected to the free range area!
will some extra nest boxes in a shady place do the job?

I have seen people build a chunnel.... Chicken Tunnel.... made of Chicken wire or hardware cloth and one by ones... a triangle frame would work great.... or short t Posts covered with wire

That chicken chunnel would work great if he's just threading it out to a fenced in run area. But if its out to a wide open area its going to be kinda hard to have his chickens always using the chunnel to get back to the coop. They could always just wander another way back to the coop and just squawk a lot outside of the coop upset that they can't get in.
