For anyone worried about me. I've just had a lot going on and was MIA for a day or two. The dog had a seizure and the grandmother is back in the hospital.

I also wouldn't want a hardware cloth floor. Even with deep litter, chickens like to dig, dust bathe, and scratch around. I just see a wire floor causing issues.
Really doing a hardware cloth apron should be sufficient.

We did HW cloth under the coop because of diggers. (gophers, ground squirrels and meeses) but I dug out the footprint of the coop about 4" deep, laid the hw cloth down in that and then backfilled over it so it's not directly on the ground of the coop but still keeps the diggers out. If you can envision a rectangular cake pan lined on the bottom and up the sides with aluminum foil, that's a very good idea of what I did. Then the edges of that HW cloth are tacked into the outside edging on the coop at the bottom before the siding is attached. This gives overlap and keeps the critters out.

I'm sure you all can guess what I've been doing.

Metric acre = copycat acre

Like a buttload and a metric buttload.

The only snake I would ever kill intentionally is a venomous one, and that only because of the kids. Snakes are generally beneficial so I try to leave them alone.

Actually, I would probably kill a snake I found in the chicken coop, too, regardless of what kind it was. Can't have it stealing eggs or chicks.

If you wait until it is in there it has already
