    How about coyote/fox or other predator pee. Check the local sporting goods store. How about trying the bitter deer deterrent sprays (kinda like bitter apple dog spray but for deer). I would check garden centers for deer deterrent spray.

    We made our own automatic pop door. Lawn mower battery, 2 timers, retractable car antenna, light sheet metal (door), wire, chain (possibly), wood frame/guide. About $70

    Jvls1942, I would love to get that much, but I also dont want to haggle with people And prove why its worth that. All chicken folks totally see value in a solid, well kept coop. Thanks all for confirming my ballpark.

    Cluckerfamlily, I would like to charge more, but a quick sale this fall might be nice not having to store it. But again spring chick crazyness might mean a better odds of me selling it.

    Thanks Bigzio, that is what I am kinda think to. That coop was our trial coop, built for a few $100 a few yearsago. Decided we really did like being that crazy chicken family. So it was time to up grade.

    To add to the bee attack list..... spoiler alert...... not attacked but close call. Back story: we are in the process of converting an old 70's pop-up camper (starcraft brand). We started to gut it, found some white/black fuzzy material shredding bees in a bench. They had been a little angry...

    It is crazy windy here also. I have a popup greenhouse with our garden seedlings in it. I had to take it all down today and bring it all inside. I am worried it would be blown to the next county. I hope the wind calms down. Our flock was hiding inside today.
