Cap I took a pic of our coop that we built with wine on top and posts after 4 years it's in shambles. We thought we were doing it right. We even put a support pole from one end to the other down the middle for support.
I wish we had made the sides like you did.
Can you see the watermelon vine...
A few weeks ago I had a black snake that I r asn off the porch and in a few minutes he came right back trying again. Dh tam him off clear out back in the pasture with a broom. The snake kept stopping and acting like it was going to bite him. It was a 6 footer.
No guineas or chickens any more.
I did kill a couple of snakes and give them to my chickens to try to teach them they could eat them. The fought over them awhile then left them alone.
