Funny how predators act differently in different parts of the world. I have never had a problem with coon or weasels, only possums. They only caused problems with chicks though, never adults. But they were devasting when they did get in, lost several each time. That is what motivated me to...

Very Nice

That is a good idea and I think it will help alot. I have a small run next to the main run that I leave them in until they get some size to them. When I introduce them the transistion is pretty smooth. I still have some pecking and chasing that happens which is normal. Just so the new ones...

Cool ramp design.

That is a very nice coop.

Wow, very nice

Thank you.

They run under the coop if they sense danger. They also use it as shade, actually I think under the coop is their favorite place. I only hope they don't start laying under there, would involve some crawling and a rake lol. I do need to put some things in there to keep them occupied just not...

Nice, I like the picket fence.

I wish I had some pictures of the "Projects" my chics uses to live in. I will not put down any coops on here because mine was pretty bad.

I have sandy soil to begin with and put some pine straw in for them to scratch around some. Mites are such a pain, I think I finally have them under control. I am not sure if I could ever be rid of them for good, so I will just spray every few weeks or so.

Very nice and I see the kids approve.

Yes you did. The inside doesn't look quite as clean now LOL

iwiwi60- Thanks. I did change flip the 2x4's about a month ago.

Heartsizedfarm- yes it is big enough for a weasel. It is 2x4 welded wire, so yes it is big enough for a weasel. I don't think we have them here though. Our main preds are possum, coon, coyotes and hawks. My main run does not have a cover but I only keep adult chickens in it. Knock on wood I...

New member, longtime lurker. There are some great coops on here and this is where I got most of my ideas from when I built mine. I have had chickens for the last 13 years that started when my little girl said " Dad, look at the pretty pink chics mom got me". Ha ha. Well I had to build...
