    I let them out too and am trying to get to netting an open space nearby. Tons of predators around here.

    I have been told by others that it is plenty big for 6 chickens. All has been great up to the injury.

    6 hens. Run dimensions: 11' length, 4' width. Could use some enrichment. What is shown here is the comb tear, though hard to discern. It's flopping forward to the side and has open wound that's healing. After two days, peroxide still fizzed a little. The black is dried blood. I'm thinking...

    Hello! First set of chickens for me. Short version: Established happy flock of 6 (all just started laying in the last 1-2 weeks), one got injured - top of the order, maybe 2nd (crown a bit torn).
