    Drawing up plans for the duck house.

    In drawing up the duck house plans I find I have questions. 🤔 Will a 4' tall back wall be high enough? I know that will limit standing fully upright to clean but with a single slant roof it shouldn't be to bad. ..maybe. The front wall is looking like 6'3" will be my max height. Do you find...

    We have gone back and forth with what to do for a different coop for my chickens (we = my husband and I). I was given my chickens in October and went out and bought a prefab.

    Very Low Cost But Tons of Work: Recycled Coop

    UPDATES: As of 2017, my town allows up to 6 chickens per acre. I have scooted the coop over to where the wire run used to be, because my air flow works better in the Summer and Winter. I have wire covered/enclosed another maybe 15' X 32' area on both sides of the greenhouse so the hens can...
