Thanks all... Sadly it looks like I will have to put another out of pain... And my husband brought home about $100 worth of wood, mesh wire, nails and such..... As for do I know what got to them... I fear I do... Can't get on to her because I can't say for sure.... Let's just say that my DOG has earned herself a long stay on a strong chain until we get a kennel for her put up...
I add fine wood ashes to the covered part of the run. The next day you can not find them. They love to dust in them.
The coop is lovely and your neighbors shouldn't mind being your next-door residents. You were worried about the angle of your ramp. We had to replace an old one that was about the same angle as yours but it had steps spaced 3-inches apart. When we made the new ramp we spaced the steps 4-inches apart and the hens took longer to get accustomed to the new build. I wish we had kept the steps at 3-inches apart since they seem to prefer the closer steps for stability, security, and confidence. Sometimes they fly up our ramp and sometimes they like to languish slowly up to the pop-hole so we wil be making a new one with steps 3 inches apart again.
I'm thinking of building a 10'x15' run for the birds... How tall?
Thanks for the links.... We are getting a kennel for her and will put a wire floor under the thing.... Better safe than sad again...

How does the pullet shut door work for you in the cold, snow and freezing rain? I just ordered one and that was my worry with it. Do you have an awing over it?
