Under construction

I started building a coop for the chicks I got last week. I had no set plan. Come to a stopping point since I ran out of materials. Floor space is about 13 sq ft. It will house 5 chicks until they can be integrated with the 2 older chickens I have.

Look for more pallets and expand that as soon as you can. Not nearly the square footage you need for 7 chicks. Being open on three sides will help with airflow, which we definitely need in our heat and humidity, but they will need more covered area for weather (rain) protection and shade.

Right now the 2 chickens have their a-frame coop/nest box. You’re right though, I will need to replace it to make a roost for all the chickens.

Finished my coop and moved my chicks in. They spent the better part of the time staring at the chickens in the run.
