MyChicagoCoop
In the Brooder
I am looking to build a run to attach to my coop so my girls get a little more freedom during the day. I am thinking it would be about 4' wide and 10 to 12' long. I've looked at some plans online, and see that people are cementing the posts into the ground. I really don't want something that permanent in my backyard. Is it okay to build the run without cementing the posts? I plan on digging down and around the coop with a skirt of hardware cloth, to protect from predators. So, it would essentially be anchored by that. How have you all built your runs? Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!
