Roosting question

[ValerieJ]

I'm jealous. That's fantastic. I wish I'd really planned for how much I'm enjoying the chickens. I'd have built bigger. And now I'm looking for a shed or coop for next year.

I have the same dilemma here. Started with one coop, 4x10, then added chickens and DH built a second one 4x4. They were all free to go to whichever one they wanted. Then I needed another coop to introduce new pullets. So now I have 3 coops, 3 runs, all adjacent to one another with little doors for the chickens to roam freely between them. This spring DH is building a new much larger coop. Who knew chickens would be so much fun? BTW, all this for a flock of 12.

The first year of keeping chickens is a real learning experience. Soon there will be threads on winterizing your coop.

Wow! I'm looking for a smaller coop o keep cockerels separate, and also a shed to convert and or a coop. Watching CL to see. Really don't want to give up the time to build coop #2. To many other items on the honey do list.
