Help quick! My dh and son are trying to choose the location for the coop. I need to know if the chickens will be ok if their coop and enclosed run is in primarily SHADE. Our backyard is steep and the sunnier spot would require backfill and buildup to get it level....
 
Except if you live in a rainy or very humid climate. In that case, if you *have* to have an all-shady run I'd suggest putting in 4-6" of gravel right off the bat, as a preventative measure to control odor and flies, which multiply on damp footing.

Good luck, have fun,

Pat
