Show me your Coop!! We need ideas

[DobieLover]

We actually have a barn that is being converted! It was always used for chickens but hasn’t housed any in a long time! Our neighbors had some dogs they were baby sitting that were very aggressive and they just left this week so we kept them in longer than planned and they still have one that roams over occasionally that they informed us would kill things so we now are having to think extra security inside a dog kennel so we can’t use the barn right now!

Electrified poultry netting will keep the dog at bay.

would you consent to give us a **little** more info on your climate??? I don't need, nor want, city and state. LOTS of respect for your privacy. But the four seasons of Texas are different from the four seasons of Nebraska. Heck, TX is so big that Coastal Houston is different from Midlands or El Paso. OTOH, my "North FL Panhandle" could as easily be written "Wiregrass", because it shares a climate with big chunks of SW GA and southern AL, and even a bit of SE M

Yay! Perfect opportunity to show the new renovation to my coop and run!

i'll defervto @3KillerBs and ourvother frequent posters from the NC region, and peek at your climate myself. i'm honestly ignorant of the conditions there, except that it doesn't get cold enough there to require special considerations for extreme winters.

You might wish to gently remind your neighbor that they are 100% responsible to keep their animals on their own property and that you WILL require damages paid for any of your livestock that are killed and any of your property that is damaged.

That said, electric is great vs canines.

Can we see photos of the barn and the progress you've made?
