We have 2 1/3 acres in the city... but would like our hens to enjoy foraging. Hubby and I are trying to design an easily movable yard (like on a sled?) that can dock to our coop/run. It would need to be lightweight and keep daytime predators away. We aren't planning on keeping them in there overnight. We are looking at lightweight wood or PVC... Also affordable. What has worked for others (or not worked)? Pictures would be VERY appreciated. We had been using a screened gazebo tent thing, but it got blown over in the wind (and broke) and we had to scramble to get our crazy girls corralled back into their run.
Too many city concerns to keep them completely free...
