We cant free range and we have so many predators i wouldnt do it anyways.
And because of winters and cold rainy springs a covered run is best.
I love my coop right now, only wish i made it walk in😅
I built my two coops as well.
Our garage is full of lumber so i didnt have to buy any besides the roost.
The feeder, waterer, auto door, windows, vents, and run were the only thing i spent money on.
I even got all the tin for free.
