Johanna has her newbies out for the first time at 5 days old. YouTube video.

I find the commercially available coops lacking in quality. I build my own and that way I can put all the "features" I wan int during construction. I know they are predator proof, weather resistant (in Florida nothing is absolutely weather with hurricanes on occasion) and large enough. I have...
