I also have an electric fence all the way around for predators!!!

VERY nice!

Hubby would kill me if I even tried to get him to build a coop like that.

My husband says that he is NOT building any more pens (LOL) so a 12x84 will have to do!!

He is very understanding when it comes to my silkies. He doesn't mess with them or feed them or collect their eggs though. The look on his face was priceless the first time he saw me blow drying one getting it ready for a show!
He wanted "manly" chickens so he built a seperate pen for his Rhode Island Reds!!

I have poured and repaired quite a bit of concrete, and I'll tell you that anything less than 4", will eventually crack. That's a real 4", not a 3 1/2", like the concrete people will give you.
Proper compaction of the soil and reenforcing wire, properly lifted, during the pour, will go a long ways toward a quality slab.

A 5" slab, due to the sheer mass, will seldom crack, especially if it's properly jointed.
