Hello I got 5 RIR's around may and here is my coop. It's just a simple 7x 10ft modded dog kennel. Any questions or ideas just post. I'm always interested in what others have to say.

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

Wrap the bottom 2-3 feet of your run with hardware cloth - chicken wire will not keep out all predators.
