Made a walk around video of an install this last weekend that shows some good features of my large chicken coop systems. The nesting box blocker board helps when wanting to block it for a couple nights if the hens start getting in a bad habit of sleeping in there beyond just being broody. This also features metal roof on the 7x8 run and bottom 2' of the run and under the coop done in 1/2" hardware cloth for added longevity and predator prevention.
If working with hardware cloth, and you have the options to get this type of shear, it really makes life so much easier. I have had this for a couple years and can’t imagine my life without it! I even cut this one handed so I could video it in the other hand. You can get as add-on to a normal drill I have seen on Amazon, though I use this so much, it was worth getting as a stand alone tool. Another tool to have with this tool is a magnetic bar to pick up all the metal that shoots out of it. It makes clean up on dirt breeze.
I guess some chickens can be “gamers” too! My 12yr old thought this one up and it gave the family a good laugh.
