Well I can not afford to build it as big as i like it this year, I want it to be really big and predator proof which means really big bucks, if i can give them a smaller one but still with enough room to feel comfortable this year it would make more sense. then i can attach the new extension on...

I have a several questions I have 6 assorted egg layers & 6 assorted brahma chicks, my husband and I are trying to build a run for them that will be comfortable enough for them until we can build a much larger one next summer, so what is the min. size you would recommend for all 12 chickens (i...

Can someone help me or point me in the right direction on how to properly vent this 10 x 14 shed. There is a window on the left side of the shed which will connect to the run and the double doors are on the end near my arrow. I read that you need 1 sqft of vent for each chicken, I have 12 but I...

Thank you! I updated my location

Thank you so much for the link and info!

Where did you buy it? That would probably work for summer, I need something to cover the run for the winter, that is why I was thinking of doing corrugated plastic panels, we get an average of 160 inches of snow. I dont want too much snow piling up in the run

Thank you, the doing supervised free runs had crossed my mind, I am just nervous because we have foxes that are in plain sight all throughout the day. I may try it with my husband also being present so he can help. If it were up to me and I had an endless amount of money our whole 4 acres would...

Last week I just watched a hawk right in front of our living room window, destroy a full size rabbit, i tried to stop it but it wouldn't leave it alone. I 100% need a roof. Your set up looks really nice though!

Thanks, I definitely want to keep them happy. We have 4 acres and I really wish I could let them free range, but I know 100% they will become lunch for something and I would never forgive myself. I was originally thinking of doing a smaller run this year and extending it out next year, but I may...

Im a newbie and have 12 chicks, 6 assorted egg layers and 6 brahmas, all 12 are hens. I know Brahmas are a big bird and I want to ensure they have plenty of room to move around in the run as I will not be allowing them to free range, too many predators such as foxes, coyotes, hawks etc in our...

Geez I can't do math at all this morning 10 x 7 is correct lol

I need help with designing a run. I have 6 assorted brown egg layer chicks & 6 assorted brahma chicks. I know brahma are bigger so it is important to me that I build a run large enough for everyone to share comfortably. I will not be allowing them to free range due to too many predators in our...
