Very very nice coop!

The only advise I can think of is maybe doubling up on the chicken wire, depending on what type of predators you have around there.

Oh yes I agree for sure!
So far we have no predators other than whatever lives in the creek but the chickens don't go down there and the ducks won't go w/o me...if I'm down there they'll waddle down too but other than that they stick closer to the fields and trees.

The chicken hawks don't bother coming around anymore cuz my girls are free range and just bolt under the pine trees

The coyotes don't cross the creek cuz of my dogs

They are never in the caged area anyways - they have free run from morning till dusk

At dusk I just go out and all my feathered family are in the coop ready to have the doors shut

All I really want to add (which I hope santa brings) is an automatic door

Thank u

Actually my husband designed it and built it
I painted (with local co-op barn/fence paint) and decorated it.......

I'll see if he can put it on paper for me and then I'll post it!

Kerri, that is such a beautiful coop!!!!

Can you create a personal page with a ton of pictures? If not, please send me a write up of your coop (how you built it, what you learned, what you'd change, etc.) along with a bunch of pics and I'll post it.
