So cute - but also so thoughtful. Your coop and run are perfect for 9 birds. And I love the thoughtfulness you put into protection for them. Burying the mesh, the screens for the windows - and the covered run.
You don't need electricity for an automatic pop door though. Ours is solar (Run Chicken) and we swear by them. However, we are running an extension cable for fans and lighting to make cleaning poop boards easier. It's not ideal and we plan on running electric. Thankfully, my husband (like yours) is one of those handy men with good looking calves. He's also an electrician.
We also plan on running wifi enabled cameras for our own chick cams. Like you - we live in an area surrounded by predators living on site.
Your coop is just fabulous and I may steal your closet design!
