    First Winter

    this my girls first winter and I am so paranoid about my coop design. Is the ramp door enough ventilation for my girls. We put a ridge vent under the shingles but do not have any additional high ventilation. Worried about moisture rising and causing frostbite.

    It's what's on the inside that counts

    Hubby and I are about to build coop for our fast growing baby chicks. Besides the roosting area (with a way to clean under of course) and the nesting boxes, what else belongs inside the coop?

    Coop in a Coop

    I purchased and assembled a 72" Pawhut coop and surrounded it with 2 foot high chicken wire. I assumed my mom & daughter team were happy but i was totally ignorant regarding how unprotected they were. They got into the habit of jumping out into the larger yard, then not being able to figure out...
