Thank you!

I have the same situation. Yes you might get a few but eventually I've found that you will thin them out quite a bit. I've had feral cats,racoons,opposums even had otters take ducks on the water. The only predator that I've not been able to deal with is horned owls.

Live Trap,relocate or dispose of. Have had to deal with many predators on my property.

Forgot what breed, but the second night in New coop and they decided they wanted a window seat.

Scratch! Just went went with 8×12. 8 ft high. 6.2 doors,tired of scratching my head. 6 extended nesting boxes,maximizing interior room. 3 6ft perches,2×4 and must have poop boxes under. Be there 1st nite in. Hope they like it. Still have to remove old coop and cover remaining top.

Thanks

What I finished in last 2 days. Roof was a booger!

Thanks

Good advice thank. Have one now about 4 ft high with another lower one. They kinda work there way to it. Seem to like it better than the lower ones.

The roosting next to each other develops into alot of pecking.

Yes going to use 2×4 just wanting maximum roof for some grumpy girls in the evening.Thinking I can even run a couple off the top plate.

Ok chicken math kicked in. Girls,not the original 11. But other 12 that magically appeared. Out grew thev8×8 hoop coop. 6ft clearance. I'm 6.1 with scabs on my head. Forget to duck. New coop off the ground 12×8. 8ft ceilings.😁 6 nesting boxes. So one 12ft side completely open for perches and...

Ok started new coop today. My Wife and chicken math. Started a year ago will 11. So built a hoop coop. 8×8. Thing we're good back then. Now the math kicked in. One year later up to 25 girls. 8×8 like doing hard time for those girls. So new one is going to be 9×12. Off the ground.Not set on roof...
