The reason it took …
The reason it took your chickens so long to lay was because they were in a small environment. Our chicken coop is inside a pen of about 6m X 3m. It took our chickens 5 days to start laying properly. One of them even layed on the first day.
Chickens when in a small environment dont lay quickly and are not normally as happy as free range chickens.
In my opinion make a bigger pen to make their lives happier, and so they give you a better production of eggs.

Thanks! The hens do seem to enjoy life. They are always very busy! It’s a lot of fun to just sit and watch them.

I had a similar idea for wind. When I wasn’t sure if the light fixture cover would work for a skylight, I bought a 5′ length of clear vinyl carpet runner. I use it as a windbreak against one side of the wire mesh on windy days. It’s stiff & heavy enough not to flap in the wind, if I lean a brick or two against it.
Congratulations on …
Congratulations on your first egg! You have a well though-out design, and it looks like happy chickens too!

Nice job of the coop and congrats on your first egg. Many more to come I am sure. We plan to use clear plastic tarp over our tractor to knock down the wind in the winter and a heated water dish. Keep the videos coming! Cheers!
