I want to turn this dog run into a pen for my chickens. It goes around the garage in an L shape. The long side is 8' x 25' and the shorter side is 20' x 6 1/2 feet. The fence is 4 1/2 feet tall.
My questions are:
First, is this enough room for 6 hens?
What do I need to do to clean the pen? Do I need to disinfect the dirt? It's been about 6 months since it had a dog in it.
Do I need to put bedding in the run? They can't free range outside the pen because we have foxes and stray/loose dogs around.
And finally what kind of fencing should I use? I need to cover the existing fence in something with smaller holes as well as the top.
