Dog Run turning to Chicken Coop

[Y N dottes]

Ah yes, Rhode Island Red and White Leghorns were what we had had, plus others like Bantoms and some black chickens that laid green eggs, hehe. Thank you so much.

Oh yes, I forgot about the Easter Eggers, the ones who lay green eggs.....Ive always wanted one but never had one myself.

I have reporposed a dog run into my coop. I have 5 6x6' panels on the side of my shed. I covered it with a heavy duty 16x12' tarp to keep dry. The heavy chain link is nice for keeping critters out. I also have chicken wire on bottom foot of the fencing, for chicks in there and to keep racoons from sticking paws in and grabbing a bird.

Oh wow, I think I have much work to do, I am just in beginning stages of clearing shrubs etc. that have grown over wire, and need to check posts for rot, may be opening a real can of worms here, hahaha. The dog run was built by previous owner of my property, with posts and chicken wire. I am a bit concerned about birds of prey (eagles, etc) so may need to cover pen with some kind of mesh.
