What's Missing?

Beautiful coop with fabulous ventilation.

But yes, "clutter" is desirable -- things to get up onto, to go behind, to go around, etc. Part of chickens' social behavior is that a subordinate bird shows submission by breaking line of sight with the dominant bird.

In love with this, I love seeing other people's setups. I'll make a thread for it I think

Looks good!
Well, I don't see any chickens.

Is that metal at the base of the walls?
Does it go down and/or out as an anti-dig device?

Thank you! I will be adding some chicken furniture.

Chickens will be here in 3 weeks, (5) 9 month old Barred Plymouth Rock hens. Just trying to make proper adjustments to my coop as this is my first shot at keeping chickens.

That is buried sheets of tin around the bottom, extends down about a foot for digging predators.

I made adjustments to my profile to show location. I’m still trying to learn this forums format…it’s a little confusing.

Thank you! Yes, it is.

View attachment 2992209I have a glass wall in my run, and the low perch in front of it is the most popular in the run. Notice how chickens love stumps to rest on. It makes them feel special. The partitioned area in the rear is chicken jail part of the year, and a chick brooding pen for a few weeks in spring or summer.

Wow! Nicely designed and very clean looking.
