Bolded a very important part of that sentence.Well I don't claim to be an expert either way.
I just mentioned the fact that they're only in the coop at night because I read this from the link on space in your footnote:
"If all you use your coop for is to provide a safe place for them to sleep and you commit to getting up when they do 365 days a year so you can open the pop door, you really don’t need much space in the coop itself."
It was a really interesting post and you seemed to think highly of it so I just thought it would be relevant to you
Well, I do not want to commit to getting up when they do.
Plus in winter here they can spend days on end inside the coop because of nasty weather.
