A big welcome to you, @Hendrika 
A big woohoo to have you as a member after being a longtime reader!

We can't wait to hear of the progress of your expanding coop and flock, and I look forward to seeing what breeds you will add. I am sorry they uprooted the poor vegetables, however! I am also so sorry to hear that predators have gotten to your flock. Can you find a way to invest in a small game/trail camera to watch them and evaluate future predators?
If you ever need help, don't hesitate to ask, as these folks are knowledgeable and always ready to help based on their own experiences. Best wishes to you!
