We have 3 possible locations, and need to decide on one since there's a domino effect with other projects...
 
Is it possible to post a picture of your hard? It's a lot easier with a visual.
 
Pretty good poll...usually they aren't.
I'd pick A.
Preds are everywhere, 2 locations on same site is not going to make a big difference.
Shade can be very important, hopefully this shade is deciduous...
....so you can get shade in summer and sun in winter.
That would be the best scenario.

Wet is not good.
Electric is important for liquid water in your climate.
Thank you for adding your location.
 
I have the same option as choice A. Though I could run electricity I just need a 100' extension cord. Predators like mentioned don't care where your coop is, they find it at some point so just show them up by building a solidly planned out coop/run. Though moisture in my spot is an issue constantly, there are a few things you can do to slightly improve the situation by using gravel and a lot of sand. Covering the run roof (if you have a run) with Clear/UV PVC panels which will keep out the direct rain. Adding a French drain around the perimeter will help in some way with downward trickling water. Shade in the summer, sun in the winter. Good luck with everything!
