Looks normal to me.

Oh, good. I imagined an impenetrable fence with rotting apples and raccoons.

It looks like those trees are going to be too close together.

Looks good. You might want to get a small open box on its side for them to search in. You know how kids love boxes.

Impressive. Can't wait to see a pic of your chicks.

Bears... bad Hot wire... good

Good idea to replace that door. Not everyone has the skills to do that. The farmers around here use your shade screen technique on their cow barns. Cheaper than using wood or metal all the way up, and gives great ventilation in the warm weather.
