Who has t

[CHlCKEN]

There is a small run that came with the coop that I have not attached yet and they will be able to free range behind an acre of chain link fence. I do understand about the vents and I am not finished yet. This is why I was looking for the person that had the same coop.

Probably too small to really use. I would allow them to free range if I were you,

View attachment 2612559Who has this coop? I’m wondering what you put on the pull out tray. I have not finished it yet but my girls are not even 3 weeks old yet. This is my first post. I have learned so much from this site. Thanks everyone.

hi I have this coop it was a mistake to buy this your suppose to put wood chips but when you clean it out the wood chips don't stay on the tray it falls to the floor which defeats the purpose of the tray... so what I do now is I put down brown paper bags like the ones you would get at Whole Foods and then at the end of the week I would replace the brown bags with clean ones and yes they is no ventilation in there and when it rains its gonna get wet on the inside so I would recommend getting a tarp to put on the coop when it rains. I really hope that your next box doesn't fall apart or get mold bc mine does

ik but at the time i needed a coop bc my 4-month meaties were out of room in their brooder and i was tired of having to wake up at 6 and take them out of the brooder to put them in a fenced-in area where they could run around

Also if the coop isn't on even ground the doors won't open all the way and be careful with the ramp it breaks really easily. And bc there is no vent I leave the door where the ramp is open at all times but then at night I lock the run door and bc mine is on a platform no animal can get under it
