So I have spent most of my time up until now thinking about the coop and run. Coop will be inside a current yard shed, they will get about 16 sq ft of a 80 sq foot shed and the run will be either 40 if I just put it on one side of the shed or 96 sq feet if I wrap around two sides of the shed.
My back yard is about 75 x 80 and is completely surrounded by a 4 foot cedar fence. I want to build a flock of birds that would be less flighty so I could let them free range a bit and not worry too much about getting in the neighbors yards, some are not fenced and one has a pretty aggressive male German Shepard who I think would love the birds a little too much. From a little research it looks like Buff Orpington, Speckled Sussex and the Wyandotte's would all fit this bill.
Any comments or additional suggestion are appreciated.
