A lot of people don't realize how secure a coop needs to be, chicken wire doesn't cut it! Small predators can easily get through that. Just curious about the rooster situation... did they leave him in an outdoor coop?

I believe so. They have a wooden coop with a fenced in run attached. All within a fenced in yard. However, the coop was right up against the back of their yard which is adjacent to a large wooded area with lots of predators. I never actually saw the birds. Only heard them.
