    Coop Location - We live on a hill facing south

    Hi, I am building my first coop. Having a bit of trouble agreeing on the location for our coop. Husband wants bottom of our yard which is at the bottom of a hill. He says the ground is more level down there and away from all of our neighbors so less likely to bother them. But it can get muddy in...
