Henbhouse sizing

[WilderSkye]

Okay, no need for insulation or a heater in those temps. I do worry about the greenhouse overheating during the summer however. Even with open windows my greenhouse gets in the 90s during sunny winter days. Chickens have a much harder time cooling down than warming up. I'd replace at least one wall with hardware cloth.

The greenhouse panels will be coming off, hopefully this coming weekend. March is our high wind season, and once we start taking them off, they need to be totally taken off that day due to winds. The greenhouse is well anchored down. Hail ruined it last summer. Which is fine, we found out the greenhouse is too hot any time of the year. The henhouse will be attached to the outside of it, giving them the 12 x 21 space for the run. The walls will be hardware cloth and probably some lower panels in strategic areas for wind blocks.

This is our future plans on the garden 'bays'. If you haven't seen this style, it is easier to just look at it than describe it.

Edited: I tried to insert the YT video but it won't let me. If you search Fat Cow Farm Tatong 'worlds best chicken coop, on YT, it has it. It is in Australia. We have the area to do this sort of thing and that is the long range goal.

Thank you for the input. Starting to feel a little less overwhelmed with deciding on how to build the henhouse part. Figure we have until the first of July to get it all done.
