Loving your coop. Have we talked about predator proofing your beautiful windows. Sorry if we had and I missed it.

The window in the coop will get hardware cloth on the inside with poultry staples and then finished with composite trim over. The window will open from the exterior. I got 2 locks and carabiners for them.

Metal roof is on, two front panels of hardware cloth are on the run, fenced in my garden area temporarily, window got hardware cloth (needs trim cover), window got lock and hardware outside (temporarily until we side the exterior), and my pride and joy, my roosts… I measured and cut them, painted and installed them all by myself!

I decided on keeping them on the same level so they’re far enough below the ventilation in the eaves on either side. I will be installing a poop board underneath and using the space below for storage (cleaning bin and bedding).

Has anyone done nesting boxes one on top of the other? I’m considering doing 2 boxes one on top of each other to save space. They would be solid material to avoid droppings getting into the box below… thoughts?
