    BYC gardening thread!!

    First time building a Coop and run - Thoughts?

    Wow great start! Small Predators will be able to get through The 1x2 fencing so maybe double it up and overlay another price or use. 1/2 galvanized hardware cloth. Will the run have shelter other than the bird netting on top? Good luck!

    New to the whole BYC and chickens this year. We received 7 new Barred Rocks the first week of July. Well adjusted now, the ladies enjoy 3-4 hrs or more each day free ranging. They wander over to the neighbors, into the apple trees between yards and elsewhere. We can't wait until they start...
