Here is my coop and run

Looks like a nice setup. Where are the food and water dishes?

Your coop looks nice, we also made our run out of a dog kennel.

Good find and very neat. What are your plans to deter climbing preds, such as coons? Or do the dogs stay out all night? Also, if coons come around when chooks are out, they can easily reach thru the chain link and rip body parts off of the chickens. Read predators section of this forum for many accounts of that very thing, and some in broad daylight.

The food and water dishes are inside the coop. I have another water dish outside. My fiancee raises dogs and their cages start about five feet from the edge of the run so we don't have problems with animals coming up to the house. I also lock the coop up at night so nothing can get inside. If something gets inside the run during the day, then I'll just have to hope for the best. Like I said, I don't like penning up chickens and almost sold them because of this and it still may happen depending on how the chickens do in the run. One of the hens is already getting picked on from another hen so I'm already having a little problem. Thanks for the input.

Here are some more pictures of the coop as requested as well as a couple of pics of the Rooster and two hens when they were allowed to free range.
