Some things to know about using your new Round-Top Stand-Up™ Chicken Coop
You will need to put some sort of a liner in the bottom of the egg boxes. We recommend a cut up
door mat that can be washed. An egg might get broken or some chickens will prefer sleeping in
the egg boxes at times in the year, and a liner makes it easy to wash. The egg boxes being dark is
what makes a chicken lay there versus somewhere else.
There is an eyelet for the hook to hold open the storage door that is designed to go on one of the
roof beams. If you are shorter, you can install the hook over to the side and just hook door onto
wire to hold it up. We mounted the door like we did because it gives the most clearance into the
storage area and stays closed even if not latched.
If you bought the waterer, you will need to rotate it downward to dump the water and then the
nipples can fit through the keyhole on the top of the entry cutout. Dump into a bucket if you don't
want the ground getting wet. We do this to protect the nipples and the brackets from the weight of
the waterer when full.
See the illustration to the right for a preferred method to predator proof your coop. Block count is
accurate. Dimensions of the coop may be found on the product page at
www.urbancoopcompnay.com.
If you ordered the feeder: Feed may clog in very damp climates or when using feeds that do not
have clumping agents. Usually, shaking the feeder will dislodge clogged feed. If persistent, the
angled chute in the feeder can have some of the material removed from the exit opening...a little
at a time until you achieve the performance you want.
See our web site for options to keep water from freezing in the optional waterer.
