Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Did you go over your coop really well to make sure it's predator proof? Congratulations on the chickens!

Not sure how predator proof it is or how to test. The "fencing" seems to be buried nicely. I would like to reinforce the fencing. Not sure if I should close the door to the coop at night (the building vs the building and outdoor run).
