Welcome to the coop! I use the Forums and Articles tabs at the top of the page to do research. You can get lost for hours. It's nice to know you are minutes away from getting help with questions and emergencies!

Glad to meet you. What a great job on that coop. Good for you! And so sorry for your losses. That's hard. But what a nice looking flock and such a nice bunch of eggs in that picture!

Here is info if you want it on:
1. Coop ventilation (which you can add to existing coops). It includes links to coop designs by climate, which can give you ideas on how to add ventilation.
2. Using hardware cloth to further protect your birds, and top 10 ways to protect your flock
3. Electric fencing if you are curious (I knew nothing about it and was totally intimidated - this article helped make it easier to understand, even if I haven't put it in)
