Quote: I love it!! I would do my best to make it so you dont have to physycally go into it to collect eggs and change out feed waterers. You know how many times you go there and how nasty the floor can get with poo! I always like outside access and even from an area where chickens are not allowed! that makes for clean shoes, less of a bio hazard too!






this is an example of what I mean
I can do all waterers/feeders and open windows and run door, etc from a CLEAN chicken free side of the coop so we dont have to step into any crud or mudd at anytime

Pallet COOP ~

Saloon COOP

And even when we did our shed conversion we made it poop free

used the left main door as the front pen door too! just latches closed on the2x3 center wall

Sally you have the cutest coops and runs. I love how the kids decorated them. So practical too.

I wanna join this hatch-a-long. I have 29 eggs incubating. One chick hatched on April 7.

Welcome! What are you hatching?

Wow! @Sally Sunshine love your coops! My husband just built an addition to our coop. It's almost done. I'm trying to get him to make me a laying box hatch so I can just collect eggs from outside. We'll see if that happens though. I don't want to push my luck! I'm really just happy to have another coop!

What kind of parrot is that? Very pretty.
