We are new to keeping chickens and are in need of advice.
We have a coop surrounded by a 4' fence. Now realizing that the fence is not high enough. Our hens have flown out two times today. I don't mind if the forge but we have two dogs that disagree. One is a hearding dog and keeps chickens in pen area. The other is a hunting dog that would enjoy the hunt and a tasty meal.
My question is would it be better to put a net over the pen or move the coop & pen to other side of garage so they can forge in the front yard (live in country). Can we even move the coop and them still return to lay? What would you do?
