For the last two years we've allowed our 14 hens to free range over our 2.5 acre property. We love to garden, landscape and also have a border collie who is beginning to herd our chickens. Since we can't really keep the hens out of our garden and landscaped spaces and our dog is getting the best of them too, I'm starting to think about a run instead of free range. However....
I want them to have as much access to our 1.5 acre pasture as possible, which is also used by our mini donkeys. While i don't envision making the entire pasture a "run" I'd like a solution to our newer issues. I used a 7' deer netting that worked most of the summer. It is cheap and comes in 100' rolls. I thought about using this and being able to move it around if I need to.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has a "giant run"?
