We have the location for the coop picked out.
Between our house and the raised beds we built a couple of years ago on the site of our old pool.
There's already an electrical outlet there.
Our back yard was dug out to accommodate the basement, so it is very rocky with little topsoil.
Figuring that should help with preventing digging (along with the hardware cloth apron we're planning on doing) .
We marked out the coop and the run, and we dug in concrete block for support at the eight corners.
I had to use our digging iron a couple of times there was so much rock in the way.
I think it is the ideal spot, right next to our raised beds, and not far from the back door.
I started taking photos, so I'll get that together at some point (a 'new coop construction thread' is the done thing?).
