How to keep chickens safe and happy during coop renovation?

[ejtalbert]

I would leave them in place and be slow during the remodel taking care not to startle them. If job not complete in a day, then be sure to close up for the night or move birds to a secure location. Your run as shown will be easy for raccoons to get into.

If you have the means, then purchase a game camera to see who is visiting so you can make further adjustments as needed.

Awesome, great idea! Thank you!

You could always keep the birds in a bunch of boxes or something in a secure location like a garage during the night. That would be the most secure option probably.

Okay, smart. Thank you!
