Journeyman’s Log #14 – Coop Build

Journeyman’s Log #14 – Coop Build

Spent the weekend working on the chicken coop.

Got the interior walls finished—already made a difference. Metal alone wasn’t cutting it. You could feel the heat before, now it’s more controlled.

Added ventilation:

Lower vent for fresh air coming in

Upper window to let heat and moisture out

Fans pulling air through

Goal is simple—no smell, dry bedding, healthy birds.

Got a solar setup running the fans most of the day. If it’ll run fans, it’ll run the auto door no problem.

Still got a few things to finish:

Roost bars going back in once they get settled

Window getting a flip-down cover to keep rain out

Fine tuning airflow as I go

Chicks are still getting used to the new space. Came out of a tub into this, so giving them time to adjust.

Nothing fancy. Just building it to work and last.

Stand Tough. Live Country.
