Hello everyone, I am just about done with my chicken coop, and the chicks are just about big enough to head out. We have 10.I have a few questions I'm hoping to get help with. First, I'm wondering if my fence is tall enough. It's 4 foot tall. I'm hoping I don't need to cover it. We don't have a ton of predators. Mainly just a couple cats. I'm pretty sure the coop is big enough? It's 5X5 and 6 foot tall. I'm gonna have at least 4 nesting boxes. Should I clip their wings? If so at what age? I plan out letting them run free whenever I'm out there with them,leave them in the fence when not, and locked in the coop at night. Good idea or no? I used 100 foot of fence, so they have a decent size yard. We have roughly 3 acres. I will try to add pics. Thanks!
