Excited for my new birds to arrive. I built this addition to my shed. First built the overhang and then built the actual coop and run. The coop is 4ft x 6 ft and the run is 8 ft x 10 ft under the overhang, so they have plenty of shade. I will eventually do an additional run that is covered with wire to prevent predators. I should get 8 full grown chickens soon from friends of mine. I want to free range them on my 2 acre property but am leery of coyotes in the area, but we will free range them during the day. I will keep a look out and will snipe the coyotes out if need be. Let me know your thoughts about the coop and any improvements I can make. I am currently building a waterer and a feeder out of 5 gal buckets. The feeder will have two 90 deg 3 inch PVC tubings going inside it and the waterer will have horizontal watering nipples coming out of a 5 gal bucket.
