Well here is my coop it's not 100% done have to add a roof to the run out and build a ramp but they're doing just fine flying up in there for now.

It's a good start but I would put 1/2 inch hardward cloth over the chicken wire. There are just too many predators that can tear right through chicken wire and others that can pass through the mesh holes. I would also run a buried hardware cloth skirt around the bottom to keep out digging predators.

Yes that was today project I am going to dig a little trench and Barry the wire then take treated 4x4s and line the bottom with it then drill holes and pound some steaks in as well. Thank you for the hardware cloth idea I planed on wrapping it again with chicken wire but the cloth idea is great!
 
Nice.:thumbsup That grass won't be there long. This is mine, I am constantly making changes and improvements, so you're never really 100% finished.
Haha I know right I'm just so happy it's finally up and can start doif improvements and fun things with it :))
