[QUOTE="jdinny, post: 259468, member: 875"] So the wife and I decided to continue our subsitence ( haha) lifestyle and raise 6 chickens prolly more in the future if this goes well. Any how she would like a chicken coop that has half ass "curb appeal" which is fine its got good reviews looks good the only thing is I think she under estimates the intelligence of predators. Coon can open easy latches, digging animals etc. I have read about hardware mesh the bottom 3 feet, hardware med around about 2 feet out and 8" down the perimeter, changes latches to include 2 steps and or locks. any other quick easy hacks you chicken raisers know of. This coop is likely going up this wkdn or next. we live NE Bismarck north of the county shop 3 miles or so so yes we have racoons, fox, coyotes, skunks present feral cats, etc. oh and the neigbors dog any tips appreciated thanks guys [/QUOTE]
