@MotherLodeBeth Your set up sounds good. I never use that light anymore since I built the bigger coop. But as a fishtank light it is in a high moisture environment anyway. As long as it doesn’t get a lot of water in the top of it, it will be ok.

@pepperanne14 Chickens like a little light at night and this one is low wattage. In the winter they need some light to help them lay better.

Haha “the axe is self-explanitory”. Hey, the tunnel is a really great idea. I like it.

Lovely coop and run. I particularly like the little tunnel. Ours is nowhere near as well thought out but you’ve given me lots of ideas. Thanks
