Carol, I live in town, but built a Fort Knox coop and run after reading all the DOG/SNAKE/RACCOON/HAWK KILLED ALL MY CHICKENS!!! stories on BYC. I studied everyone else's failures before building my coop. I put 4x4" posts in the ground, skirted all the way around with 2' of 1"x2" welded wire and used plywood and hardware cloth on the coop. I bowed over 16' cow panels covered with hardware cloth for the run and it is skirted with wire too.

@baymule I assume this will be moving with you. :) I have enough friends with chickens to get fresh eggs and not have to tend them, clean up after them or worry about them. ( Besides, I don't really like chickens! ) :hide I am kind of phobic about touching them after they get real feathers :sick fluffy babies are o.k. ;)

Those beautiful flower pics would be good for the POW. Your Scarlet runners just reminded me that I forgot to plant mine. They're so pretty, even if I didn't eat them. Everything looks great!
