well you may think I'm cruel but I'll be honest,I'm in the process of building a run for my chickens right now but they have been in a pen/coop for some time now,I bought them on a whim and had to build something for them to stay in and add on as I can,they can't free range my dogs would have them as snacks.They are bantams and have plenty of room,they are on the ground so they can bathe and scratch.I have 3 in their almost 5x5 pen,soon to be done (possibly today) their 4x8 run.there you have it,if I'm a bad person then lower the boom on Me,I'm a big boy I can take it,rest assured these chickens are well cared for.
