Okay, I know this is a tractor forum but you all should know about chickens...Right?
I need to build a chicken coop for about a dozen chickens. The chickens have free range so the coop is just to keep them safe (and warm) at night.
My questions is how do I make the inside? Do I make nesting boxes and stack them? If so, how high can I stack them? Do I need a roosting bar?
The building I'm using is 8 foot wide by 8 foot deep and 8 foot tall. It has two small doors for the chickens to enter and one "normal" size door for me to enter. The outside is made of 2 inch thick wood (milled 1/2 round to resemble logs) and the inside is sanded plywood painted white. The building is wired for electricity and is well insulated.
Thanks for any advice given..I appreciate it very much!
