See I thought that was a good idea but was worried they would feel stressed being so confined but I know it's for the greater good! Really helpful, thank you! :)
The area is fenced off and they are free to roam in the day (as they would if they had the whole lane to themselves as they did before) at night they are in their coop so away from harm. Thanks, might try to salvage the suitcase!
My four ex-batts have been with me for a little over a month now, in that time they've started roaming and it's been lovely to see them build their confidence.
Bit of background; I live on a rural lane and one of my neighbours also has chickens who have always been free range. So I didn't...
