Your chickens will be ok. We feed our chickens left over all the time and they live long healthy lives. So what if they get soft poop they won’t die from it. Let them have fun!
My chicken coop is Weasel proof, Rat proof, Racoon proof, Coyote proof, etc. (Except mice proof) My run is made of thick Hard Wire on all sides including the floor it was originally made to keep Large Parrots with strong beaks. Converted Aviary into a Chicken coop.

So sorry for your loss. This happened to us a couple of times and lost a few and a couple I’ve had to stich up and they’ve survived.
Now I have a calendar reminder on my phone every night and also Alexa reminds me as well. So far so good! 😊
Thanks Cyprus for your suggestions. I thought of using some scrap 6x8 post that I have to Support the 4aqft footing and have them outside the cage to maximize the space inside.
But I like your idea of using cinderblocks but it’s would take up premium space inside the run. Also, where can I find...
Hi Cyprus, here is a pic of my aviary converted into a chicken coop.
Again the dimension is
12’ Long x 4’ Wide x 6’ High
I want to make the end the hen house so maybe covering the sides and Making a bottom.
Let me know what you think. Thanks,
Benjamin
Hi my fellow chicken keepers,
I have been into chickens in the past, but about 2 yrs ago got back into chickens when they lifted the ban in keeping chickens in my local neighborhood where I live. So after learning about this wonderful group I joined Backyardchickens yesterday!
I’m happy to be...
