our finished coop

[ducks4you]

First,

Very cute coop! You Grew that tree pretty fast, too.

Seriously, though, if you're keeping their food in that bin, the mice will find their way into it. You'll want to store the food inside your garage, perhaps in a new, metal garbage can with lid.

Where do you live? Go to PROFILE/Personal and put in you location.

Your neighbor wants your roos for the same reason I'm growing mine. Labor Day dinner!

With the feed bin issue. We had rats and chewing through ours. We put hardware cloth around it and no problems yet

Esp, if you spray pepper juice on the plastic

Thanks for all the feedback, the blue bin in the pic was full of pine shavings that we used in the brooder and the upstairs inside the coop. Don't worry the feed is in the garage. The blue bin is also in the garage...so are the chicks at night since the last few nights are in the 40-50"s ..I have been bringing them out to the coop before work. The chicks and I can't wait til the nights here in NH warm up for the summer!
