This is the coop I built in my tiny urban lot. I lined the entire perimeter with 6 inches of hardware cloth to keep out predators. No problems in that department so far even though their are several resident foxes and raccoons. There is no flooring in the coop or run. No hardware cloth...

Indeed! Poor duck. But I found him a good home on my friends farm.

Oh and no. I am sure they are not all Wyandotte bantams. I got a duck in there too!! A duck!! LisA

I got them from Ideal Poultry--Assorted Wyandotte Bantams. Can you see the dark mark some of them have on their heads? The customer service lady told me that they do not sex the bantams. Any opinions? Does the mark mean they are boys or simply a variety of wyandotte? Ideal Poultry by the way...

I live in the city. I just completed my coop 4'x5' attached to a 7x5' run. There is no floor. The coop and run rest on the grass. Should I dig up the turf and dig down a bit (6 inches) before I place pine shavings and other carbon material on the floor or is that just making more work for...

I was thinking of simply burying a foot of wire cloth all around the perimeter of the run and coop. Do you think that is adequate or should I go 2 ft. or should I enclose even the bottom with wire cloth? Lisa

Thanks for the post. Lisa

Thanks for the advice. You have given me some things to think about. Lisa

I am thinking of the type of coop and run that will fit in my small urban landscape. I want to do the Old Time Deep Litter Method on a dirt floor, however, I noticed that almost all of the urban/small coop designs have a coop with an elevated floor. After pouring through this and many other...

Thank you. You answered my question. Lisa

I have no chicken yet but have been milling it over for the last 6 months. I am anxiously planning on getting 3 bantams for my tiny urban lot. So happy to have joined this community--a wealth of experience and knowledge on chickens all in one space. Thanks, Lisa
