    How do you get water out to your coop?

    Went to HD bought a roll of blue 1/2” poly and appropriate fittings, ran it from existing hose bibb, exposed along fence line about 50 yds down to the coop, installed a hose bibb there.

    Devastating Raccoon Attack

    Tractor supply cheap and easy just install around your roost and run. I have two wires, one about 4” off of the ground and one at about a foot, even the squirrels stay away. Hardest thing about the install is getting electricity out to your run and driving the ground rod.
