We just got a coop, and picked up 4 chickens this weekend (3 RIR, and 1 Leghorn). My 3 little girls are so excited!! We spent the weekend predator-proofing and painting the coop. So far, enjoying every moment of our foray into suburban farming.

Welcome to BYC! It's a beautiful coop, but it looks as though the hardware cloth does not run all the way to the top, and over the roof. I would suggest completely enclosing it in hardware cloth as there are a lot of predators that are very good climbers. I know it will be a little extra expense, but it's cheaper than replacing your flock. Good luck with your new coop. I know your girls will love the chickens (my children, and now my granddaughter do).
