Hey Linda, I went to tractor supply and had their product in my hands. The quality of the product wasn't worth a thing girl. It might have lasted two years at best.

I found the real deal I was looking for at an old time farm supply store. Heavy duty rat wire that will last 20 years i'm sure...

So I am all set as i finished all the woodwork mostly. My chickens have been living in the coop for a few days now. I will go back and add the two outer wire cages as soon as I have some time.

I will post up a picture of my crazy coop at this stage after the rain stops. It's been pretty crazy here as we had frost on the ground the other day. I am so glad I stuck to the rule of thumb around here. Never plant nothing till May 15th...
