That's adorable!! I love the colors!! We have our frame built. Kind of hilarious because my husband and I have no carpentry skills. We've spent a lot of time in Home Depot this week.
Ok. So we bought some materials. Doing a 10x10 coop with 8 foot walls and a slanted tin roof. The entire thing, walls, floor, ceiling ... will be covered in hardware cloth. Two walls will have significant full coverage to protect from winds. Will also have removable walls for winter and rain...
In your opinion, would 6 foot deer fencing with netting over top be adequate for daytime protection against stray dogs and hawks? Chickens will be in coop with hardware wire at night. (Coop will be in orchard surrounded by 6 foot fence.) I'd like to put electric fence around coop for night time...
We're building our coop this week! We have 15 chickens currently ages 3 and 4 weeks. (9 buffs...one is a suspected roo. 2 supposed Ameraucanas who turned out not to be, and 4 Rhode Island Reds)
Husband is set on deep litter method and also loves composting. Chickens will have a 4000 sq ft...
