I want a fully enclosed run attached to the coop area because there are coyotes in the nature preserve behind our yard. Also we have a pit bull mix who has never seen a chicken as far as I know (he was a rescue) and I'm not entirely certain that he wouldn't try to eat them before he understands...
Hey there, I tried to reply to your question but I was on mobile and somehow it didn't link up properly. But I was fairly certain that I was going to go with Australorps this time. I previously had Rhode Island Reds. I have officially decided on Australorps after the positive input I have...
