Quote: True. But it can be done on a less grand scale. Since this is up by the front of our house and we see it all of the time as do visitors, we wanted it to look nice and fit in with the rest of our surroundings. We also wanted it to last. The best part is that if I ever get rid of the...

Quote: Thanks for the feedback! We only had the predator issues when the chickens would free range. The coyotes learned to wait until the coop door automatically opened and then they would pounce. This new coop is up by the house so I don't think that it will be as big of an issue. We did...
