Hi! I'm new here, but it seems like a fun site!
My science class did that chick/duckling project that always comes around during the spring. The teacher asked if anybody wanted to adopt them and I didn't say anything but decided to research both of them at home. Reading MANY MANY chicken guides, I decided it would be fun to have some!
I have a large backyard, but we would like them to stay away from the grass in the center, so I thought to make a nice "coop" out of our old run-down playground. I don't need help with that, I've already figured out how to make that nice and predator-safe, but I want to put a fence around that corner of playground (it's pretty big) and thought to make it with chicken wire and some wood. Not being an expert, I'm now thinking, how will I get in?
How do I make a from that that I can go through but predators can't. (They're isnt really any that I know of, no hawks, stray dogs, possums, raccoons, etc, but need to be safe!)
Any ideas? I know the answer is probably obvious, but again, I'm not an expert. xP Thanks!
