Replying to the comment that wire is not good for chickens to stand on, we put sand in the run. So the chickens are not walking on the wire but the sand.
Don't know if this will answer your question or not but we have a small coup with 6 hens. We put a wire fence, smaller than chicken wire, underestimate the bottom of our run and underneath the coop. The areas fir our chickens are completely covered with this wire mesh, including all the windows...
Not sure how to start a new subject. It may just be the device I am using. But, I have a question. I have 6 chickens about 2 months old. I am new to this! How old do my chickens need to be before I put in the pecking block that I bought?
