This is our main coop...

-I took out about 3" of siding at the eves to allow ventilation without predators getting through.
-I made two pop doors about 4" off of the floor with latches that secure on the inside.
-I bought a 12'x12' chainlink dog run, attached it firmly to the coop, burried the bottom bar and divided it down the middle with chicken wire/gate.
