In the Brooder
Hi all! New to chickens and starting to plan my permanent run for my 12 BSL pullets.
My run will be long and skinny : 21’x5’ and built along the outer wall of our barn (the coop is a room inside the barn).
My question is… does it really need to tall enough for me to walk in it? I know it would probably be more convenient, but I also don’t want to dish up the extra costs. If I can keep it short it will be 4’ tall. Would make sections of the roof removable so that I could enter once in a blue moon.
Any opinions on this? I really don’t know how often I would have to enter the run for cleaning etc…. They would have access to a bigger fenced yard in the summer (when I am home to keep an eye on them). All opinions are welcome!
