I love your set-up. And a free shed? - What luck! I got to your page by following your post on the "poop-board" thread. Do your girls like the swing? That's a cool idea. Do you have buried wire around your run to discourage things digging in? Here on the prairie, hawks are our biggest worry. I think you might actually have to have trees for racoons. My coop will be a mini version of your barn/shed and I want my run just like yours. What would be your number one "if I could do it differently....." Again, love your coop/run.

Hi Neddie! Someone else on here had swings but...none of my birds have shown any interest in them! When we built the runs we laid chicken wire down first then built the runs on top and wrapped the wire up and around. I would not do this again-the wire ends up rusting under the sand and I end up pulling it up. I have never had anything dig under but I don't leave them in the runs overnight and I do a walkaround daily to check for signs of predators. Raccoons and weasels along with the hawks are my biggest concerns. If I could do it differently??? BIGGER BIGGER BIGGER! Thanks for you comments and let me know if you have any questions while you are getting set up!
