    Coop/nesting box/run questions

    I'm going to do my best to explain this but I may fall short of the mark so if you have questions for clarification, please ask. My husband and I are drawing up plans to build a pvc hoop enclosure which will function as a 10' x 10' covered run. On the back wall of the enclosure we want to...
