OK, finished the house/coop pretty much. It ended up being a 10x10 living area with 2x10 of nesting area. Used the ondura roofing. The pullets don't really like to come in at night so I've been putting them in one by one. I have the house raised off of the ground about 2-3 feet with a subfloor and it's not extremely convenient getting them in every night. They like roosting in the scuppernong vines and just laying in the dirt. I tried putting the food in the house to bring them in at night, but nope that doesn't really help, either. I have heat lamps in the house at the top just to entice them in since it's dark, but that doesn't work so well either. When they are all in the house, I cut off the lights and let them go to bed. Going to try to figure out how to post pictures on here for critiques.
