is the one with the dark grey doors, heavy plastic? if so, how do you like it?

Here I found a few-
(They sleep, drink, lay (when they actually do lay), and eat in there)

My coop is only for sleeping and laying. I'll usually put a bowl of food or water in there if I have a broody though

I do not compute... I don't have the playhouse yet

If you take a measuring tape and lets say some sticks, measure out the width of the play house, place a stick at either end where the walls of the play house would be, do the same for the length, now on the floor your sticks should make an area the same size as the play house. you can mark out where the roosting bars would be and the nesting boxes if you want as well
does that make sense?

Yeah it is plastic! It works pretty good! We shut the windows when it rains and it has its own floor attached so it does good in wet weather! It’s housing 16 turkeys and doing really good!

I might have a long next box at the bottom for broody hens, I don't separate the broodies but I take the nest separators out so i can leave space for the food bowls and space for the chicks to run

I might be able to do that

oh yeah, I just remembered will I have to fill in the windows or leave them? I could open them during the day to keep the smells out,then close them at night

You would probably want to open them for ventilation and stuff!

We put chicken wire over our open windows so nothing can get in there!
