    Anyone have their coop inside of a large run? Pics?

    My Sunflower Coop

    Finally finished my coop. It's a walk-in, slant-roof design built largely of scrap lumber I found around town. Sunflower siding is from an 8 x 12' backdrop that I'd constructed for my daughter's graduation party (for photo ops). Built inside a 6 x 8 x 30' wire structure that previously was my...
