Watching them do Battle with osprey is always fun. every now and then you'll think you're watching an osprey and legal go at it, and you look it's a juvenile eagle being taught by parent. earlier this year I watch that from a tree, had porpoises blowing behind me, redfish popping behind me...

Nobody told me how much beer a chicken coop takes....

Yeah.. I figured..... Haha. That being said, nobody should underestimate a damn eagle. My n neighbors (her parents) share our yard and we've seen them take approach and attempted kills on their Yorkies. Those little dogs are alert for a reason. Have yet to see one come after this...

Hope to get doors / windows / trim up this weekend, as well as black jack interior and get my metal roof on. What do you all think about the airflow and ventilation with this. Floor is roughly 8 x 8. Goal is max of 15 chickens. Total square feet of hardware cloth is about 35 square feet. 11...
