Would just the two triangles of ventilation be enough though? Im not sure exactly how big they would be. I could keep the long side one for during the summer and close it up in the winter.
Definitely planning on having the coop up on legs so I can utilize the space underneath it as part of the run. I was thinking similarly about moving the vents to the triangle portion of the roof.
That's a good point. My issue is lack of space and restraints from the city. Our backyard isn't huge and we can only have a total of 6 hens, planning on 4. It also can't be more than 7ft tall per the city (I don't know why).
That's true, I didn't think about the roost height.
Must haves, not much, just easy to clean. I love the idea of poop boards you can scrape off and sand substrate.
It will have an enclosed run with a roof attached, but I'm sure there will be days when it'll just be too cold and windy to be...
The shed in question. I live in North Dakota, so harsh winters but also summers that can get pretty hot and humid. Does this design have enough ventilation? I will have 4 hens.
