Well, I finally finished building the coop and run. I only have this one pic so far, I'm notorious for not chronicling work in progress. The henhouse is 8'x8', with the peak vents, soffits and ridge vent (sorry, it's cropped out of this pic), so I should have plenty of ventilation for the ladies. I used my old dog kennel for the run, and there is chicken wire along the lower 3' of it to keep the more wily predators at bay. If you look at the floor of the run, you'll see more chain link fencing. This was scrounged, and we laid it down before laying down the poles, so anything that even tries to burrow in will be stopped. This run is practically Fort Knox now. Since this pic was taken, we laid dirt in the run and added the final wall of fencing and put chicken wire overhead. This coop is way over engineered, but hey, that's how we do things where I come from.
Thanks for looking.
