One inexpensive thing you can do for your chicken's entertainment is to buy a head of cabbage, drill a hole through it, run a thin rope through the hole, and hang it from a rafter low enough that they can peck and eat on it as it gently swings. Your coup is very nice! Loved that treat door.

I have heard that a roost built with square edge material can eventually hurt the chicken feet. When I built mine I cut small hardwood trees for roosting poles. Nice chicken pen! I like it.

Pro tip. Spray paint the hardware cloth black and it basically disappears. You can see right through it. If money is no object use the black vinyl coated. But the spray paint works amazing.

Suggestion: Cut a 6" slot in front of the laying boxes and install hardware cloth from underneath, then vent the top of the laying boxes at the rear the same way. This will allow for air circulation through the laying boxes for the hens when it is hot. Hinge and install the cutouts so you can close them to keep the boxes warm when cooler weather comes on.

Tip for the little ones... we have the same setup - this year for the first time we used a small door from the nursery to the main coop. After a few days we started opening the door and the little ones start venturing out in the larger area. The good thing is that with the little door they can retreat into the nursery without the larger/older ones following. This has been working gret for us this season and the little ones start mingeling now more and more and run 'home' when a mean hen comes around.

Hello, new subscriber here. I was just wondering with the hurricane season here is your property far enough away from the coast that you shouldn't get the flooding waters that comes onto the land? Has your house and outer buildings gone through a hurricane yet? I hope and pray that everything goes good for you and your wife and that no hurricanes affect you all. I love the chicken coop and the other two videos on the chicken coop too. Please stay safe.
