Very good advise thank you! Have to have that perspective in mind when formulating what and how I'm doing things for them. That's why I'm trying to take in knowledge wherever I can to make informed decisions. You guys are a giant help in doing that 🌷🐥🐓

Thank you so much! I actually made a post about my concern for the heat that you commented and gave me my ideas to start with! I read your article over and over again to try and get some solid ideas which helped a lot. It's just a limit on what I'm able to and willing to do involving the roof is...

Thank you very much! Im excited and love the community so far. I probably wont mess with the structure of the roof too much. Ill probably do the large windows with eavs on each side as suggested by another user and a top spinning vent on the roof. I will probably stay in the 10-15 range. I have...

That's perfect! Be able to close it during our bad weather here in central Oklahoma. Thank you very much!

That's a good point. I can probably add more overhang. Would you suggest something alternatively?

As shown with the red. About that big under the lip on either side. I was also thinking about putting in a top spinning vent for the heat at the top to escape.

Thank you for the tip about the lip I'll definitely need to do that for the nesting box and shelf. That's what I meant about the elevated roosting shelf! I saw that on someone else's build and thought it was a great idea! Gonna lip it, add bedding, and a bar parallel above it. For ventilation...

What's cluckin chicken lovers? I got my sweet mixed flock on August 8th this year and had been working on refabbing the back of our shed for the chickens. I got it done and them out last week. Then I'll be doing the front of it for the Nigerian Dwarf goats we get next Spring. It was completely...

That's so amazing 💙🐤 lucky little chick. I hope you call it Pippin 🤞

What a beautiful tank of a chicken tractor ❤️ Definitely would love to try to make something like this! Thank you for sharing. ‍

Thank you so much! Inspirational 🥰 so happy for your chickens.

Not sure if this has been said yet but, with the cost of lumber right now (at least in my area) and other parts and products, for just five hens you could get a small manufactured coop/run. Youd be able to move it around your yard. Something like this or similar. Best Choice Products 70in...

We are converting this very large shed into a goat/coop barn. Only two nigerian dwarfs, then ten hens in their own separated areas. We are doing additional covered ventilation on the siding on either side then a top covered duct for the heat to rise out of. Any additional recommendations?

We are converting this very large nice shed into a goat/coop. Think we'll add a covered duct on top for the heat to rise out and then covered side vents for air to circulate. We will also be adding enclosed insulation in the siding. Any recommendations for ventilation?

Thank you so much for writing such a comprehensive and well thought out article for everyone! I bet you've helped (and probably saved) a lot of chickens! Including mine 💙 Love resources like that!

What a queen of an article 💙 thank you!

Great info thanks so much! I will steer clear of misting, ice, and ice water for my chickens to cool off. The chicks are going to be indoors exclusively besides little trips outside in the early mornings until it cools off in October.

Thank you very much! I hadn't thought about the humidity. Awesome information in general from your experience. I love the puddle and frozen jug idea! We definitely are doing the box fans and mega ventilation in the coop as well. Yes ma'am we are brooding indoors until temps cool down a bit when...

Hey guys! (Sorry I can be long winded.) Im getting a beautiful mixed flock of 10 chicks the week of the 8th here in central Oklahoma. I know its late in the season, but by the time they are 8 weeks it will be October and starting to get cooler from this 100+ degrees we've gotten lately. So I'm...

That so great! So cute 💙 How old would yall suggest to start doing this supervised with fully enclosed run with chicken wire? I know they'll be too small for a while.
