    Looking for some help!

    It's regular chicken wire at the moment but mr chicks told me about hardware wire so I'm gonna get a roll of that and go about 3' up all the way around.. Is that a good idea? And maybe a stran of electric fence!! Oh and I have shot many coons around our house with my bow last time we had chickens

    And I'm gonna have speckled Sussex hens does that mean I have to have a Sussex rooster? Or can I have any rooster?

    I was thinking about that.. And I'm pretty sure hardware wire is cheaper than everything for a electric fence! Question: would I just dig a trench around the coop and just nail it to the frame board and just drop it in and cover it up?? Question: do rosters help protect the ladies?

    Yes it will have a gate with a few latches on it because we have a few coon that like to roam the back yard.. And I'm thinking one stran of electric fence about 6-8" high all the way around?

    Do you think the nesting boxes are too high? And I have read that the roost needs to be higher than the boxes?
