In the Brooder
Hi everyone, we’re getting close to finishing our first coop. Would love some input on where to put windows and ventilation. We’re in Southern Oregon where it can get up to 100 in the summer (92 here today!) and mostly down to the 30’s at night, but with rare dips into the teens. Here’s a photo of the coop so far. It’s 4x6, will house 6 chickens. The close side will be the roost side with the external nesting box on the opposite side (the extra framed out bit). The human door is the short side, it already has a 1x2 cut out lines with hardware cloth (using a reclaimed door from a friend’s old coop). Any suggestions appreciated. Biggest concern is if a window on the roost side will cause a draft. (Extra photo to show Penny inspecting her future home).
