Thanks Katie,

Im researching as much as i can, the amount of material on chickens is overwhelming lol

Ill go ahead and plan to put food and water inside and outside.

For predators, my biggest threat will probably be Racoons. We have tons of them here, my trash cans take nightly abuse from them haha. So i already plan on having to seal the coop up nice and sturdy and wire all the way around the run. Other then that, we have Hawks (just had animal control remove a nest from my tree 3 days ago). . . and i dont know if Possums are a real threat to them?

Racoons can unlatch a door real easy, so mak sure you use something you can padlock AND use hardware cloth for lower part of runs so nothing can break in ...preferably buried 2' all around so nothing can dig under. I havnt seen any coons around here ..yet...so I feel good about our coop with "H cloth" all the way up.

Take it from someone who had 14 Rotties for a long time.

Chicken math is much worse!
