you can build or buy great coops that have head height so you can walk in but because they use more timber they are of course more expensive and can be a little over bearing in a small urban yard.

The vents don't allow any rain in and have insect mesh inside.

i wonder if treating the perch racks with a few layers of poly would make it easier to clean.

the tarp in the bottom is a great idea! it was something I was thinking about doing and it's great to see it in action :)

Thanks for sharing but I don't know why chicken coops have too be ugly? why couldn't they be a nice looking small shed that you can walk in to clean it?
