Our Coop - A few questions

[crazy huhn]

Wow, that looks great.

I have a self-waterer attached to a water hose in my coop (one of the better ones = non-leaking), so I only have to clean that daily, instead of carrying heavy galvanized waterers.....LOVE IT!!!

Like everybody seems to say on here. Chicken wire is to keep chickens in not keep critters out. It's just not strong enough to keep raccoons or even a dog from getting through it. 1/2 inch hardware cloth is the best. A raccoon can reach it's hand through the chicken wire grab your chicken......................................

you don't want the details

Thanks crazy huhn! I'm not sure how well running a water hose would work for us here in the winter time, but having a self-waterer would be cool.

Hmmm... Ok, CoyoteMagic, I'll pick up some hardware cloth. Maybe I'll line my run with that too.
