So much to deal with. I hope that you can find an answer that is easily treatable.Hi Rural mouse. Health issues are ongoing. Getting a skin cancer removed tomorrow and my noggin scanned Friday in a attempt to diagnose my tremors. Lety and I spent a few hours making sure everyone is cozy with our first cold front blowing in this evening. Up to 17 pups now and 2 kitties.

A healthy poop.
Doing better yes, but still in the house (spoiled rotten bird)Thank you Alex! I will be bringing her in tomorrow so I can better monitor her. I just shared with Bob that I also have Baytril. Which I'd forgotten about.
I'm so glad Dakota is doing better!
Trying to post about the excavation & coop placement —
Before big coop attachment to run, big coop directly in view, little coop to the left, you can only see the run part.
See the gravel "path" to the left of the striped cloth, that's the swale drain we put in to help divert the water coming off the hill and onto the barn, parking area & driveway. The big main run is between the drive and this and face west northwest. So this side here is very protected. Decided both coop runs are going to cross over it, I couldn't figure out any other way for now. The wind shelter that the main run offers is really good.
So I'm covering the gravel of the swale with pavers just where the coops cross it in an effort to help keep litter and run soil from getting in and clogging it.
Buckeyes’ end of the main run, pavers for coop partially done. This one is very wide to accommodate the predator skirt too, the coop run is up on the main run’s paver edge, and there’s a slope down to the swale. Complicated story but it helped with the main run leveling and base stability. So pavers are going under wherever the skirt isn’t flush to the ground.
Big coop attached, & the closer area excavated for the little coop
The opposite perspective, end of main run covered that day with what I had on hand because of the cold wind.
Below, little coop attached, it's a good shot to see the whole arrangement. Five Buckeyes in the left big coop, four elders, Hazel & Orpingtons in the little coop on the right. The main run is divided in half with wire panels and a striped fabric piece for a visual block.
I made a sort of dutch door arrangement with zip ties and coop run doors.
Below here’s another picture with Shehnai and Lizbel, shows the run divider reused coop doors (right) and the back external man door (bottom). This is before I put up the visual block on the divider, the fabric just hooks on and off for access. Without the visual block Hazel just goes and hides around their main run corner when she sees Shehnai, and he goes nuts to try to get to her.
I figured out that with the long run divided here, including each coop's differently-sized runs, each group has the same square footage, 153 sq ft.
Yoga, Buckeye-style
Preening fluff-outs
