I don't mind the questions, that's why I started the thread.
Your coop sounds interesting, and I think it'll work great!
We're planning to keep 50 to 60 egg laying birds at a time. And occasionally we'll do a run of meat birds which will be only 2 months at a time and perhaps 40 to 50 meat breed birds. Eggs are a valuable food for us so we try to keep our flocks healthy, strong and happy. We've been keeping about 20 hens for some time and honestly, they aren't providing enough eggs for our family of 8. So we're leveling up.
For fencing we will not be using the hot net. I've seen it and I'm just not a fan. What I am a fan of, however, is the welded wire fencing that you can buy at the farm supply stores. It's the stuff that has thin wire welded together in 2" tall x 1" wide rectangles. I like the 6 foot high version. It's as expensive as all get out but it lasts forever and doesn't need a charger.
