My windows are about 5 feet off the ground. Should they be covered with hardware cloth? My carpenters think I'm nuts, but we do have bear around here. And in the summer, I might be gone for a weekend and the windows would be open. What do you think?

Nice looking coop! Although I doubt hardware cloth will keep a bear out, yes, I would cover it. It will keep out other predators!My windows are about 5 feet off the ground.

Nice coop. Would be nice to have about a dozen of those.
This is Sylvia. She decided to fly out of the brooder and sit on my lap and have a visit. They are getting many more feathers and some of them aren't so cute anymore.
Ahhh, yes- the gawky teenager age. They'll be feathered out and gorgeous again in no time. And then....eggs!
Not AS cute maybe, but still cute. Sylvia looks adorable.

Yes to hardware cloth. It may not keep a bear out, but it will keep out raccoons, minks, rats, etc, etc...
Need some insight please. Does this look like 2 Roos and a hen?
They are pullets I think. They are 6 months? They would have hackle and saddle feathers by now. The one looks like she is about to start laying.
Nice looking coop! As the others have said, I am also in the 'hardware cloth over the windows' camp. We even put hardware cloth over our eaves... nasty critters can find ways into about anything!
