Yeah, I figured you would have something for the parameter! I never heard of dig defense, but I'll look it up. Added water was smart too! If the birds feel crowded they will let you know. Feather picking, pecking of combs, etc. will begin at that point. All in all quite a beautiful home for your chickens!Yes, thank you so much. We actually went with a product called dig defense they are driven into the ground the whole perimeter of the coop. And I have since added a hot wire to the fence 2 feet high just to keep my dogs off. Also added 2 more water features. I should probably post more current pictures.And the run is aprox 25 feet by 8 feet and than extends 8 feet of the back side with the 8x8 coop open to roam underneath as well. Hopefully they don’t feel too cramped.
