RE: Chicken House

in #animals7 years ago

It looks SO GOOD. I would suggest, since you guys get so much rain. (I realize you don't have chickens yet) but you do not want rain to get into the coop at all. So there will have to be some sort of awning or whatever to protect all that screened in space up top.

Really, it looks real professional! Great job!

Sort:  

The picture up top is actually corogated plastic. The only screen will be on the windows! We've gotten i few storms and the inside stayed completely dry. Thank you, I did a very small portion of the work! Blake did most of it!

Oh good! Couldn't tell! You will want ventilation at the top portions of you don't have it already. The smells man, and the heat rises.

We plan on having the window open, and making a screen door! Hopefully that will be enough! It's a battle between rain or ventilation lol

Well that's true, but you will probably want to have some at the top. You could drill like 2 inch holes (covered with hardware cloth) at the top. Top ventilation is really important, if not the most. Of course, all up to you! You have all summer (go in there during hot and muggy days to make sure it's not too bad), fall, and winter to figure it out.

My chickens are idiots, to be honest. When it's hot, sometimes I catch them in the coop, panting and holding out their wings. Never really understand why they do that, it's kinda still air in there. I think I'll have to add more ventilation also.
