    Greenhouse to coop/run conversion?

    I haven't converted it yet and I'm not even sure I am going to anymore. I was thinking of removing some of the panels (they pop out easily on mine) and maybe doing screens like you said. Or something that would be difficult for predator to push against. But, honestly, I don't think I will...
