Felted Roof - should I remove it.

I've bought a second hand coop and run - mainly for all the other stuff that came with it.

However - long term - I am thinking the two coops and runs I have will be useful for quarantine/sick bays.

The new coop has a felted roof but it's pretty well stuck down.  The second hand one however, he has felted it himself, using staples and the odd tack.  I am very tempted to remove it all.  It looks like a trap for bacteria and mites to me.

What do you think?

Touch wood, never had mites, but built our coop with corregated bitumen roof rather than felt  for just that reason.

Think it does provide good housing for the small red ones, so probably best to replace.

take it off , then give it a good coat of  creosote then why not felt it again , or soak it with bleach

Onduline is great for roofing a chooks house.

Having a lift off roof make life much easier if there is poor access to start with.

I altered my broody coop so it hase a lift off roof.
