I built a large goat pen (no goats yet) & put 10 chickens in there & they
lasted less than 2 days & the raccoons ate them all. I’m working on
removing the unwanted critters. I heard you say Florida, I’m in N
Jacksonville. Did you have coon problems? I’m going to build a smaller
maybe 10×20 critter proof hen house to protect them for eggs.

It’s actually pretty easy to make a coop from PVC. I just got done make a
temporary run for my chicks from, PVC, zip ties, and vinyl-covered poultry
wire. This is just something to get the chicks in the yard for a few hours
on warm days and can easily be expanded should true free ranging not work
out for me. I’m not experienced at building much of anything.
I’ll build the small one

Hi, I love your chicken roosting coop, and I really appreciate the detailed
information you gave. You mentioned that the fencing used a 100 feet roll
of wire fencing. Where is the gate? I noticed there are two lighter colored
posts on the left side of the roosting hut, when looking at it from the
long chicken yard, across from the nesting boxes. Is that the gate? How is
it built? If there’s no gate, do you climb on the ladder to get in and out
over the fence?
Predator issues?
