I don't think you'd like my coops. Ours are much simpler but our chickens are happy. We don't do lights and we don't insulate. We buy breeds that are rated to do well in the cold. The nice thing about not planning all that well and using free or cheap materials is that you can just fix the errors quickly. I think the biggest error in building a coop is not having a plan to clean it out. Design it so that the poo is easy to clean up or not have to clean up at all. Our tractor doesn't even have a floor. That way, when they roost, their dung goes right on the ground in the garden and I don't have to clean it up. Hmmm… I don’t think you’d like my coops.
