Hello everyone!!!

[hartman1162]

I am justin, i have been to this sites to get all my info, just joined today. I am loving the site. Thanks for all the help.

I own 8 chicks, silver laced wyandottes.

I have built a coop, with a friend under neath my shed, it is on a hill kinda, and it had a part where it was not walled underneath, so i put walls up. i do not have a wood floor or open floor, i was wondering how or what i should do so the chickens do not dig themselves out or a predator will dig themselves to get in side? I have some long cinder blocks around parts of the walls but there is still gaps. Please let me know what i should do. Thanks a lot.

Hi and

Glad you joined.

Have you thought about getting some wire to line the bottom where the walls touch the ground. Then nothing can dig in that area.

Hello Justin, and welcome!

I wish I could give you some advice regarding your coop floor, but all I can say is check out the coop section and maybe you could find some ideas, or better yet, post a question about the floor.....I'm sure you'll get lots of suggestions.

I have some three week old Silver Laced Wyandottes right now, along with several other adult chickens of various breeds.

Take care,

Sharon

I would definitly check into more posts on the coop design. Surely some good ideas will be there.

from Ohio. So glad you joined. If you can, I would line all outside walls with wire and bury it at least a foot deep.
