I always love to read these posts, so I thought I'd try it with our brand new coop. The girls were moved into their new coop this weekend - such a stressful time for us! They seem to be adjusting well to the changes and are figuring out their new home. Our head hen loves the stacked nesting boxes, haha!
I want to get more chicks this year, but I don't want to overdo it. How many hens would you feel is a comfortable fit? We've DIY'd this coop, so we can always add on (or remove the wall) in the future.
Is there anything we're missing? We've been adding more ventilation. Not pictured are the two windows that can be kept open.
We're also going to add an extension to the run, possibly without a roof. They get free-range time when we're at home. But we wanted to give them more to explore when we're not - especially if we add to our flock.
Thanks for all your input!
