    Thanks for that info. We live more in the country, and so far our biggest enemies seem to be hawks, coyotes, and snakes. And yes, the wire I will be using will be 14g welded wire. Hopefully I will be through with the coop today, and can begin on the 20x50 run tomorrow or the next day

    Need advice on ten-chicken tractor

    Thank you very much for the advice. I have had a change in my thinking over the last day or so, so I believe I have changed the plans up lol. Instead of the ten chicken tractor, I am gonna go for two smaller tractors. easier to move, plus I am able to separate my egg layers (Golden Buff or Black...
