ROFL Hay. Hubbie built me a new coop this weekend out of the grandson swing he built for them and never use. He took vacation days Thur & Fri.

It is 8' wide at the bottom, 10' long, enclosed on 3 side to keep food from getting wet. made out of 1/2 hardware cloth with a 2" hvy dty wire coming up 3' on top of that. I completely went around the ground wit 2' wide hardwire cloth with hope of making it preditor proof. I may go back later and cover the rest with the hvy 2" wire. Now I moved my Millies and Sebrights from the smaller coop and the 4 Blk Mottled D'Uccles I had inside all to the new cage. Unfortunately Peppy kept trying to kill my Mottled Roo so he just took a swing. He just about ripped its comb off yesterday evening and was back at him again this morning. Peppy was the White Mille Roo I hatched so wasn't good for breeding anyway. Just hate to kill a pet a raised by hand
