Here’s my Coop

Long over due but here is pictures of my coop, it’s 24x24 and about 7 ft high full predator proof

Beautiful coop!
Would you ever consider making in into a BYC coop article?

Beautiful! Is the top half chicken wire?

It's a beautiful coop and run, but you are not predator proof. That barrel bolt on your door will not stop a raccoon unless I am missing something. Also, raccoons are known for climbing and they can go through chicken wire like a knife through hot butter. I may be missing things due to my poor eyes looking at this screen but I think you might need to do some shoring up of your security IMHO.

That’s amazing! Where do you live? I would love something like that but in Michigan the birds wouldn’t make it through winter. Those must be some happy birds!

I have 2 black mouth curs in the yard, I have barrel bolts on top and bottom, with an enclosed yard

Your coop is lovely, it really is. I am jealous. My black mouth cur didn't stop coon from coming right through chicken wire at night. Or from opening latches and killing my flock. You have an amazing start but I would definitely cover what chicken wire you have with 1/2" hardware cloth and add padlocks to your doors. You can hang the key from them, but they are the only thing I have found to keep Wisconsin coons out.

I have the bottom 4 ft of it as 1/2 hardware cloth I will try to add to the top half and roof but it’s expensive that’s why I went with chicken cloth lol, but this took me about 3 months to build on my days off and after work
