Coop Protection

I know it's been quite a while since I've visited this thread, but wanted to provide an update! Firstly, THANK YOU all for your advice! Many of you were correct on latches. I left the prefab latches on their own, but they would open literally if the wind blew (LOL). I installed some new, stronger ones abd also put 2 "swivel" style latches (kind of like old barn doors) on each door to keep them closed should a latch fail. After far as the run goes, we recently did some home improvement and had a surplus of 2x4's left over. I built a small run in the same design as my PVC one. I just used chicken wire but secured it with the screw and washer trick I found on pinterest. There is a door leading from this run to the "main" run that is connected to the hen house. That door is secured with hardware cloth as is the rest of the main run/house. I only have the chickens out in my homemade run during the day and I was able to put a roof on with some hinges I found in the garage so I can easily open it to fill their food/water. As far as predator security, we have had zero issues, not even mice. I think having that tall fence (that I have to jump to see over! Team short people!) has helped us a lot. Come tax time/spring, I might try my hand at building my own set up. We are looking to fix up and sell our house though, so the girls may be going to live with my future inlaws and their birds so that we can renovate the yard. Thanks again everyone!
