    New Member - Already a roller coaster

    Got our first six barred rocks from the local feed store. Oh, and one extra. One of them turned out to be a male! We found a nice coop though (image attached). Made to order by some Amish folks. Very sturdy.

    Wondering how you have set up the inside of smaller coops

    Please share the inside of your smaller coops. I have a 5x6 coop that we built this spring. I am not 100% happy with the way the plans have the roosts set up. I am wondering how others have set up the inside of their smaller coops. Where are your roosts? Food and water? Thanks!
