      1. There is a limit to the total size of images you are able to submit. If your photos exceed 500 MB, it will not send correctly. If you try again and are still not able to upload images, please contact me at myaussi@ogdenpubs.com and I’ll be happy to help further. Thank you!

    2. Hi. We just built and assemble our chicken coop built for 7 hens. We are going to install it June 14th, 2022 along with a chicken playground. I want to send pictures after it is installed with the hens but wanted to make the June 1st deadline. I would like to send better pictures when the coop is officially installed with the hens.

    3. I am new to chickens, but am in love already! Trying to learn as much as possible from others about health, hygiene & other info. My husband & I are building a large run for our coop this week. It’s always great to see what works for others.

    4. Too bad you don’t have a section for a full description and ability to enter multiple pictures. I ended up having to send a low quality collage jpeg with text to get under the 500Mb limit. I would have liked to have put all of my coops features.
      – Redwood, cement floors, Automatic door, Wi-Fi connected and controlled, heated, led lights, sand box, easy cleaning with removable plastic trays, lots of storage space, three nesting boxes, up to a dozen chickens, etc.
