    New Coop & Run - Predator Proofing Suggestions

    Very necessary! I added the woven wire fence AFTER a dog got into my coop and killed a lot of birds :( I have learned from experience that hardware cloth alone won't stop a dog. Haven't had issues since I've added the woven wire fence.

    Coop flooring and bedding material.

    First note: my birds free-range so they don't spend all day in the coop. That makes a difference. I use super thick linoleum for my floors. And then once a month I come in with a 8" drywall knife and a 5gal bucket to collect poop for the compost pile. In the winter I use pine shavings to...
