Here is the coop. Ric built it in a corner of the barn. Where I have light water and electric outlet for a heated water pan this winter. He had to clean out the old stall area as he had a good bit so stuff in there. About 2/3rds of the top is a removable plexiglass panel. So I can easily see in without opening it up. There are 4 roosts for the girls to sit on (2 on each side) and the floor under the roosts is heavy gauge small wire. So the droppings just fall thru. There are two pans under the wire floor to catch the droppings, very easy to clean. Then there are 4 nest boxes that sit right in front of the door. It can be easily removed when I need to get in the coop and I can collect the eggs just by opening the door and reaching in the back.
