Windows? Going to build the girls a new house.
New hut will be 8'x6'x7'ish so I can walk in.
I have found a nice solid wood frame door with glass at the Habitat Restore, but windows, eh, found nothing at the 2 local habitat stores. But Lowe's has some options on clearance.

My plan is the 8' section will be the front where the door is. There will be a door - either centered and no window or off centered and include a window.
The back 8' section (where roost bar will be) is likely to be a long functioning shutter (6') or a cutout that can be down during the spring/summer/fall to allow for airflow. Bottom of that wall will have the bottom flip up to allow for daily hose out (ducks will be there too).
The side walls will be 6'. One side wall will have 4 nest boxes (at least I think four of them). I'd like windows on those side walls to open for more airflow as well.
I'm having a hard time so far visualizing what size and how many windows.
Anybody have suggestions or pics of their chicken houses that are of similar sizes with doors/window placement?
