Viking Chicken Coop Complete

Daria,

it looks great! word of warning though. with it so close to you pool you will be cleaning out feathers often, also when they really get to digging and scratching you will see run dirt/grass near and possiblly in the pool too. our coop isnt close to the pool and is screened in yet we still get feathers in it lol.

We live within the city limits of Dallas which is quite a bit larger than Belton, and we have raccoons here. I've seen them myself (even before we got chickens). Half the people at our first local poultry meetup told about losing chickens (sometimes their whole flocks) to raccoons. And, yes, all of them were relying on chicken wire to protect their chickens. They just didn't realize there was a risk.

You may not think you have raccoons in your area, but you probably do. If one happens to find your coop with the chicken wire on those windows, it won't be pretty.
