Our school has one, there isn't even a door on the port between the run and coop! It's completely built with hardware cloth and solid roof, so extremely predator proof. Works pretty well, no predation except humans sometimes trying to steal them.- GNeerChick

My First Hatch!
The biddies are getting even bigger, I took a clean out as an opportunity to get more pics! I've been keeping track of them as they grow, but now I'm not too confident about how I sexed them.

Just got adult hens- how do I help them acclimate to my coop?
For the waterer, mine figured it out pretty quickly, but you can do the same thing I do with chicks: hold them and put their beak up to the nipples, or while they are watching, move the nipples enough to make water drop down. They are pretty quick on the uptake for food and water. I don't have...- GNeerChick
