I've been as much of the forums as I can as I am constructing my coop, and trying to incorporate as much of the good stuff that I can, price be dammed!
- nipple waterers! I had no idea such things existed and its way more clean than a poopy water bowl full of shavings
- vertical hardware cloth! I had only considered running it lengthwise along the run instead of vertical up the sides of my run
- leafblower to clean out the coop dust! with appropriate goggles and respirator of course
- prime and paint the inside of the coop! for much easier cleaning
There is so much good info here, I just wanted to catalog some of the great ideas that I hadn't thought of myself to use on my coop
Any contributions to this list, and any "aha!" moments you've had, please add to it!
