Crowing
Our builder, who lives on a similar property, had us go out to the land after a heavy storm and send him photos of the water run-off from the mountain. We have a wet weather creek, so they just dug it deeper to handle what comes down the ravine and also the overflow from our artesian well. Also, while we are low compared to the ridges, the driveway is pretty steep down to the road, so the house isn't at the lowest point. So no flooding issues. I did put the coop up on 4x4 legs, though, since it was roughly in the path of some drainage, but so far it also stays super dry under the coop.
