    Coop up or free range

    If it is a problem, I would add two feet of something similar to tennis net, making it an 8 foot barrier, without presenting a horror to the neighbours view. Or, you could do similar, using that cattle fence type stuff. 8 feet is too high to fly over, no way a chicken is going to launch and fly...

    Doodling around the pooch lying at my feet.

    The lady of the house.

    Some pics of my lead hen. Eats straight out of my hand and has learned that I not only know where the best bugs are, but can move stuff like logs, so she can get to them. Eggsellent layer. I’m pretty clueless on breeds, but I think she has at least a fair bit of Plymouth Rock in her.

    What breed is this pullet?

    I wanted two pullets that a local guy had and he insisted he wanted to include two of these in the deal, so I went with it. She is around six months old now in these pics.

    Lost Two Girls Today

    This is why I decided to go the open plan route on my setup. A secure run/coop, that is really just a big steel cage with a roof on it and place to roost that is sheltered from direct wind for stormy nights.

    Hiii from South America!👋🏻

    I want to keep a congressman in my coop to stop thieves. Nobody want to steal that. But then my chickens don't want to share a coop with one either.

    Karoo Homesteading flock

    Just out of unrelated curiosity, what has winter been like that side, this year? I ask, because ours has been wildly warm. July to September are usually our coldest months and we have had temps as high as 31 degrees.
