Great coop! Loved all the pics. Very well thought out.
I just wanted to make a suggestion in regards to your extra nesting boxes. Fill a few of them with sand, wood ash and DE and/or Poultry Dust, and your birds will love using them for dust baths and the DE will help with any parasite problems.

Have concern about weasels. May yet add hardware cloth over the top of everything else. Not sure how they would climb up there what with the slick vinyl siding and all. Anyone know how high they can jump? Am sure they can get into the run with not much trouble. Hear they can wriggle thru chicken wire, if not bite through it.

Gerry, an adult male, long tail weasel would have no problem with a dead jump right into your front window boxes. They average about a foot long and can easily jump 3 ft high. Make no mistake, they can squeeze through chicken wire like a summer breeze through a screen door.

Can't believe that you let CHICKENS go in there. WOW!
