We totally screwed up today. When I say WE I really mean me lol. My "vision" and reality were not on the same page. Our coop is so tall, when we attempted to raise it higher off the ground we realized there was no way it was going to happen without a gust of wind (and we get plenty) toppling it over. I think raising it 6 inches higher would have been possible, but we went for a whole 2.5 feet off the ground, with a coop that was built piece by piece rather than as a box style lol... No good. Chicks had to hang out in an extra large dog kennel today, and will probably have to most of tomorrow while we fix what was messed up, and then enclose the whole thing...
So plan B. Enclose the coop to keep the bad guys out and the good guys in. We will expand the run area about 2-3 feet in width. And perhaps my husband will send a poster with my face on it to Home Depot telling them not to sell me anymore wood without a note of approval from him LOL. I have seriously bought about $400 worth of wood and hardware in the past month that I visualized for something either garden or coop/run related and it's piling up because reality and my visions don't add up
good thing he loves me...
