Hi. When we talk about how many chickens in the henhouse, it has to do with roost bar space (and vertical space too, as this video shows). We like one foot per bird on the roost bar, you can go 10 inches too, so depending on how much roost bar space you have in a 4x10 henhouse will decide the amount of birds. As for the space between, we have our roost bars the same distance from each wall and each other. There isn't a formula, but yet it depends on size and construction. The key is to have them far enough apart so one bird can't poop on the other bar. 😉
I preface tis Post by saying that I love Carolina Coops. They’re beautifully designed and superior to anything else on the market. But why the dinky little side windows that look like they’re from a medieval church. They could feature fewer ‘frames’ and have a Larger area of glass or polycarbonate. Also, the frames will attract and hold dirt and dust. Are they just there for looks? Lose ‘em, I think.
Thank you for your comment. The 'muntins' on the window are decorative and give it a classic window look. These are on our flagship coop, the Carolina Coop in this video. They also appear on our Craftsman Coops, both coops also have board and batten siding, another classic design element. Our most popular coop is our American Coop, which has a smaller version called the California Coop. These coops have windows without muntins like you suggested. All these coops have the same framework and structural design, but the outside trim work is different. Hope that helps explain our coop designs. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful coop
Great video! 🐣🐣
Thank you 🤗
Its almost perfect, a fold down dowel would make it perfect, anything you drop on grass dissappears.
If a coop is 4x10’ instead of 6x8 how many full size hens will it hold? How far apart should the poles for perching be?
