Yes, thank your for for clearing up COOP, PEN, "run", I didn't know what was what.
They will always have to be in the pen, no free ranging allowed, which is why I am going to make some sort of tractor to move them about the yard in a bit. They will be in the coop only at night and when the weather here is simply too crazy for them otherwise. Like today, it's about 5 degrees out, according to the thermometer out my kitchen window. Yuck!
Our house doesn't have a basement only a crawl space...literally CRAWL and we've never had a problem with snakes. We had some mice this year, but EVERYONE had mouse problems this year. lol. We have a problem with earwigs, slugs, spiders, house centipedes, slugs, oh and did I mention how many slugs we have?!
I will check out Ridgerunner's stuff.
I certainly don't want to start a DE debate, I just love the stuff so much that I put it in my coffee everyday, and my dogs get it in their food regularly. I can always do that with the chickens too though.
I had started a really nice Illustrator image of the changed coop (much much MUCH better than the one already here] but my computer decided to crash and now part of my hard drive is corrupt, I'm fixing it now, but I have to use my husband's computer until mine is feeling like working again. lol
