I live in Sumter, SC-we have had major flooding (I am sure you have seen) this is my backyard-fortunately my girls were safe in their coop-no leaking! At one point the water was about 6 inches from their floor-I was prepared with cages in the house to bring them in if needed. The water has gone down, they are roaming about in their run area again! I was more fortunate than a lot of those around me.
