Duh, of course they have to be grounded. I don't know why I didn't think of that.
We live in a big city and predators are not a problem during the day. Well, maybe human kind (thats why we lock our coop!)
I guess we'll just figure something out, and maybe use a chicken tractor for a while...
Hi all, I am new here, but have had periods of lurking whenever an issue came up with my little flocks
Anyway, we have 5 hens in our tiny urban backyard. The fences here are all 3 feet chain link. When I had chickens in another city, we had a 6ft privacy fence so we had no stray chicken...
