OK. So all is going great! 2 week old chicks are thriving in their brooder. The shed is ordered, I have a plan for predator proofing it and the run thanks to all you good people. I spend happy spare time reading stuff on this site. And then this morning as I glanced over at the coop site & climbed into my car at 5AM to go to work - in the pitch dark as I do 3 days/week, I realized with a sinking feeling that I will be opening the door to Fort Knox 3 days/week during predator hours. In the winter time the coop door could be open for two hours before it gets light outside.
Soooooooooo, what do you think? Where do I find it and...... gulp - how much is this going to cost?
PS I can run an extension cord out there but it won't be wired right away.
Thank you - there will be 8 girls in an 8x10 shed.
