We have three pullets and getting ready to put them out in an "A" frame coop we have built. I have tried very hard to think of anything that might secure the coop. Small hardware cloth around the bottom of the "A" for a run secured with very long staples and stapled very close together. DH doesn't think we need so many staples but I'm doing it anyway. I know for a fact we have small rats that run along our privacy fence, I see them getting in to my bird feeds. I have way too many squirrels (rats with a bushy tail) that rob bird feeders and I'm hoping that's all the rodents I have to deal with.
The coop where they will sleep and lay is the top part of the "A" frame. It is also as secure as I think we can get it. The venting windows are covered in hardware cloth and tightly stapled. The doors have no more room than it takes to securely shut them with tight animal proofs hooks and of course, the door down to the run will be tightly closed at night.
Is there anything else I can do? Thanks! Donna
P.S. I tried to upload photos but for some reason, there's an error.
