Farm Vlog 6: Building the outside run on my chicken coop

What happens here

The final panel, a roof section, is brought over and positioned on top of the chicken coop. The creator notes it is a bit heavy but manages to get it in place. He mentions that the biggest concern with chicken coops is predators, and emphasizes that the structure is designed to keep predators out. To further deter predators, he plans to install small solar-powered deck lights along the perimeter and a motion-activated solar light on the coop, as lights help scare away nocturnal animals. He notes that this coop is much more secure than his previous one, where he lost 15 chickens in one night.

Goal: Complete the coop structure and implement predator protection measures.
