Hi y’all! New chicken momma here! We have 10 acres and for now are putting our coop/run inside of our fenced in back yard. We live in Texas, it gets HOT. We have 4 Easter eggers that are 2.5 months old & 5 silkies that are 3 weeks old.
We quickly learned that the coop we had made wasn’t large enough (surprise!) so we are putting a small run connected to each side & will remove existing hardware cloth on existing coop. What type of small hen house should we make and where should we put it? The existing “house” is an eco flex that’s super easy to clean but we will build the other house from pallets. We plan to put a tin roof on the west side to block sun and keep the smaller east side with hardware cloth on all sides & top. West side will have hardware cloth all around as well.
advice of where and how and anything else is appreciated!
