Back to the drawing board. I've been sharing the feedback and open air coop designs and think that's the way we're going to go. I really like @jlpierce45 designs. Going to see how to tailor it to our needs.
Jen's Hens'- A Southern Texas Coop by jlpierce45...
I was thinking of open air but decided against it. Wife wants a coop due to the opossums. I've had to trap at least 5 in the last 20 years and release down the road in the fields. Plus the neighbor's cats, she loves to feed strays. So, wife wants extra protection.
I'll have to make sure...
New member here, been a long-time lurker while I was researching chickens and coops. I REALLY like the Carolian Coop style but realize it wouldn't work for our property. Incorporating multiple designs, I'd like to share my rough plans and get some feedback. These are rough.
Overall, from top...
