I have 5 chickens that are enclosed and I just move everything around the yard once a month or so, I have 3 spots that always grow back, takes about 2 hours to move everything, I constructed the run out of little weight material and the coop is small enough to move myself. Works great!
9 months,I like the idea of raising my own food,grew up in the city and never imagined raising chickens,the eggs are great and we have a family day care so I use the chickens as a learning tool,kids love it.
I'm just getting started and am excited about raising some BYC's I have 4 Rhode Island Reds that are around 6 weeks,it's great to see programs like this and look forward to becoming a part of it in the future.
