Our first adventure with chickens lasted six years until our last girl was taken by a hawk. In the past we lost hens to an opossum, raccoons, and hawks. We decided to use our first little coop as decor in the front yard and go bigger, better and safer with all we’ve learned and build a new “Fort Knox”, coop and run. We put a lot of thought into every detail with safety as our number one goal and practical layout and ease of use a top priority. We live on a 1/2 acre within city limits so we are limited by coop size and number of chickens we can have. Our combo coop/run measures 12’ x 16’. The coop itself is 4’ x 6’.
