| Hi! I have an 8x10 barn type coop with a 20ft x 14 foot run attached. It is as yours is totally predator proof. I no longer close the coop door. Not even in the winter. I put construction grade plastic on some of the run walls and they prefer to stay outside. I live in South Texas though. Best Regards Melissa Rose from South Texas -------Original Message------- I have a rather large coop (About 8' by 4') with a large roost area and 6 nest boxes built into the walls. Outside of that I have a pen area that is about 10' by 18' that is fenced in all around including the top. My perimeter fencing goes down and then horizontal inward for at least 12" and in the more vulnerable areas, it also goes outward at least 12". I have a door that closes on the coop that I shut at night. My question is, do I really need to close the door? Nothing short of a bear (which we do not have around here) could get into the pen. We also do not have mountain lions, cougars or any large cats. Thanks for your replies. Cheers ~Dr.Doug | ||
