Hi all,
I have a couple questions regarding the run/coop.
1.) Would you recommend 1" square Aviary netting or something similar but different to cover a run? I have a 18' x 8' run made out of 4' tall chainlink fence. My idea is to create 1 or 2 "T" posts to hold the netting up to 6' tall in the peak and then zip tie it to the top of the chainlink. (picture it forming a circus tent sort of shape).
2.) for those "T" posts, should I use cedar or is treated would Ok since it's in the run, but not part of the coop? I heard Cedar can be bad for a chickens respiratory system, but I thought that might not be an issue in the run vs making the coop itself out of cedar.
Thanks!
