The perfect/dream coop, what would it be?

[bigoakhunter]

Large pole building set up like a horse barn. Chicken stalls on each side. Each stall about the size of a good size coop (12 x14) 10 Chcken stalls on each side. I could thus have about 16 different groups or flocks. One stall for an infirmary, 2 stalls for breeding areas and one for storage of food, bedding etc. Electric and water a given. Each stall would have a poop door to an outside run area.

I then could walk down through the center isle and check on each group. Building would be 120' long by 40' wide.

is that even a coop, WOW

Don't get me wrong, it's beautiful but who would use that for coop. If I had something like that, I would use it for my kids and us. It is really beautiful tho, wow :-D

I like my coops, hubby built them from his heart only my dream coop would have more insulation and a roofed run. Need to finish that next year, but maybe a tunnel that ran from the house to the coop so when I go out in the snow and wind I dont freeze to death.

I dont have chickens, but i have ducks, and ducks poop A LOT, more than chickens i would think, so i would want a hugeungus coop that had 4 rooms, 2 for different breeds of ducks, i only want to focus on 2 breeds for breeding, 1 stall for wlesh harlequins and the other stall for assorted runners, another stall for an incubator, brooder, small silky chicken pen for natural incubation and brooding, feed, supplies, and the 4th room for a vet/maid to live in and she/he would clean up after the poop spilled food and soggy bedding, change the bedding 1 a day in both coops, air conditioning electricity and then a 1 acre pond for them to swim on and free range, then in the very back of the coop i would build an aviary taht had glass windows for the roof for natural lightiing and i would make an amazing aviary for ornomental ducks. i think im confussing you...

but if you get what im saying, thats what i wont!!

now make it happen!!

A dog to guard the chickens, I would really like to have one of those!!

We have tried the dog thing , we have border collies that are excellent herders but they think chickens are more fun to chase and eat than herd . I do not know of a dog that will protect free range poultry . If I found one that would begreat !

I once had a self-cleaning cat litter box. I wonder if someone could modify something like that to automatically scrape poop boards?
