I'm not sure I understand your question. Did you buy a prefab coop and it came with some kind of black fabric? Are you asking about the black fabric on my run? Do you have pictures?
Oh, I see! Silly me! The black fabric is just landscape fabric, otherwise known as a weed barrier. It it so easy to work with, and makes a great shade for the run. Bonus? If it rips, it's cheap to replace!
Hi! I am a new chicken mom, just adopted two Barred Rocks and we are getting four more chicks next weekend. We are in the middle of building our coop and can't decide the height for the chicken run.. My boyfriend and I are both 6 ft tall, so ideally, we were thinking to make it 6 ft high.. Problem is, I am having a hard time finding hardware cloth in that height. Do you think it would be okay to make the run 4 or 5 feet high? Or do you guys think that will make it really hard to clean? I am open to suggestionsAttached is the pic of our progress so far.. obviously we still need to add siding, trim, doors, etc.. The run is going to go in an L shape off the back of the house.. Thanks!
