Hi ,
Because I had to slope my old coop I'm busy building a new one but it is limited area and space now in my (not bog nor little ) backyard .
I 've seen online coops for sale without wooden floor to prevent pests plus good ventilation and also it keeps out predators more , so it was written and I kinda have to agree on that one but I wanted to know some opinions about it as it is not really comfy in my opinion as well ...
So I was thinking about the following : the walls in wood , same aplies for the front , meaning 2 doors that can be opened up by daytime and some kind of 'pvc plate ) for the roof because it lets light come in too and is fully waterproof but I wanted it like this : the front with doors higher and the backside a bit smaller where inside the roosingbars come and acces to nestingboxes I can open up on the backside self , then the floor in indeed wire but with bars in wood , like roostbars but only on the cagewires and lots of flooring to get it comfortable yet with enough ventilation then .
Any ideas or toughts on this system of coop ? I'm not totally sure it will be good but I have seen they sell quite good . ( but have no nesting boxes while I like to add nestingboxes and roostbars )
plus I also tought about the fact it is indeed very hygienic and since it is only to sleep in and lay I assume it could be a good option ?? anyone having this kind of coop ??
