A few of my favorite things about our chicken coop build from last year…
1. Hatch doors between each run-in. We can easily separate the chickens if we want or open the doors and let them mingle.
2. A Dutch door for ventilation on decent weather days.
3. A water pump next to the coop! We can easily attach a hose and fill up water buckets without having to carry the buckets. Plus easy water access for anything that needs cleaned.
4. Windows that open out from the bottom. Ventilation even when it’s raining🙌
5. Bottom access doors between coops. Makes it easier to clean out all of the shavings/poop… push into the next coop, then the next coop, then out the back!
6. Three separate coop areas. Makes it easier to separate certain hens/roosters when it comes to getting ready for hatching season!
Plus we have extra space to add a brooder in the future 🙂
