So, I was thinking of building a cord
wood chicken coop/ garden shed (separate but same structure). This would be mostly a winter coop and during summer they would have pasture and a summer house.. It would also be an occasional place for a broody hen to make more chicks. I have been looking in to cord wood for a few weeks now and am still in the early stages..
Really my main question and concern is moisture in the coop.. Obviously I will clean it out occasionally and droppings will not pile up too high.. But what I was wondering about is moisture. With hens indoors most of the time during the winter, and with
water in there, and their breathing, damp flooring (dirt floor). Do any of you think I
should worry about wood soaking in moisture, interior end of the wood molding, or rotting? If I decided to do it in
cob instead of cement? These are all ideas options and issues swimming around in my head and I would love any input.. Thanks.
