    What should my coop be called???

    Covered run? Advice? Pictures added.

    We had a lot of metal siding left over from when they built my horse barn, so we used that to roof over our run. They still get a lot of sun during the day due to placement of the coop, and we can still keep the rain out. It is sloped to where it drains clear of the coop too - which is great!

    Leaves in Coop

    Hello all! Have any of you put leaves in your coop as bedding? If so, how deep ? I cleaned the coop today and put a nice thick layer of leaves in there and the girls ran in and back out . Do I have them too thick? Any advice welcomed and thank you!
