What did you use for your cover crop? Nice to see aomeone besides me using the metal wayer tanks as brooders!! I strt them in the basement in those at a day old and at 1-2 weeks old I move them to an outside shed then when the size is right I move them to a house with a yard that has a roof over it. We have issues with hawks, racoons, foxes, area dogs & coyotes. So all of our yards foe pouktry are made from 6’ heavy duty chainlink. I wrap 24” tall 1/2” squares hardware cloth/rabbit wire around the inside of all poultry fences and place barn tin under the fences with about 6-8” on the inside and the rest on the outside and weighted down with concrete blocks. I let our chickens free range when I am home after all my indoor stuff is done so I can keep an eye on them. Otherwise they get fruit, veggie & meat scraps that have been diced up along woth the steady feeders & waterers when they stay locked up due to weather or no one being home. We have lost to many burds to different predators. Biggest predator we have had with chicks under 8-12 weeks old ((depending on breed)) has been snakes. Black snakes, king snakes, cooperheads & rattlers have all be caught in the chick shelters and in the hen houses eatin eggs. I hope you never wxpweiwnce the venimous ones in your chicken houses. Their bites have killed many a good layin hen.
Love your Chicken House 🐓

Like how you said after putting two chicken in “don’t let them out” and both chicken got out
