RE: Chicken Coop Design

Thank you.
The water is in the lower section so that spills go through the wire. The food is in the upper part in a hanging chicken feeder, spilled food lands on the wood floor.
It was designed to be portable and I was going to have wheels on it, and I did move it a few times, but it is heavier than it looks.
The chickens were always fine with how cold it gets in Texas, but sometimes the water froze over. A heat lamp could be added in the upper area.
To get to the upper story I was going to have a ramp or ladder, but saw that they could just jump or fly up to the upper area, so I eliminated the ramp.
The eggs were sufficient in number for us, but I might have make it a little bigger or more portable, and maybe add a chicken run to a grassy area or garden.
