Hubby wants us to do a chain link fence for the run, what are your guys' thoughts on it. I was thinking about something more like what I used for the rabbit hutch with cinderblocks around the base and wooden pallets on top of that with fencing going around the outside and over the roof. Obviously I need to bury wire around the outside so predators don't dig in, I know we have coyotes and we have dogs that would love to get ahold of some chickens. Going to have to work on my dogs, so I will buy a shock collar since they are so quick. Ideally, my run will have the four rabbit hutches inside of it for the bunny poo to compost in with the chicken poo for when I clean out the run, I currently have them in my yard with large flower pots underneath the hutches. Hubby says that a 30'x30' run is too big for 5 chickens but I want a big run so that they have plenty of room and so I can put perches inside for them to get off the ground if they so choose. According to a friend the coop that I won will easily fit 5 Easter Eggers, I still have my doubts.
