My set-up isn't bird proof. I've never seen any birds in the actual runs with the chickens, but they could get in. I primarily keep them locked in the run for predator protection. They aren't thrilled about it during these colder months, but I think I'm going to let them back out come spring.
Hello Friends!
I was wondering if you are free-ranging your backyard flocks or not due to Avian Flu?
I'm looking to start giving my chickens more time out and about in the spring when predators aren't lurking as much and they have more cover.
However, I don't know if I shouldn't let them out...
