We just added a couple of brown tarps to blend in with the lattice and not stand out to the neighbors (silver shows on the inside of the coop). This is mostly for wind and rain protection.
New laying boxes which I think might actually be a little bigger than they prefer ... if we find this to be true we'll fix the issue. Also it is only this bright in there for an hour or so - from the moment the sun breeches the trees of the pond (directly in front of the coop) until it hits the edge of the roof of the coop.
New corrogated roofing - here soon there will be a gutter added along the edge to make a rain catchment system - we've already got the 55 gallon drums - they will have to be painted so as not to stand out as well.
The biddies attacked the feeder and bent it - it is now on the ground until one of us can get it fixed.
Raising the doves wasn't working out so well so we slaughtered them the other night and gifted our neighbor with them since he grew up eating them as a boy in his home country. This left a second coop for the chickens. They must feel like they have moved into a mansion!
