I have about a 15 x 12 building I am going to use as a coop and will be building a run about 38 x 15. It will all be at the lowest 6 feet high. It will of course have all the bells and whistles of a traditional coop. I do have a few questions before I start though. .
1) how many chickens would you suggest I have in this particular setup?
2) If the ground is un even, should I use 2 x 4 's laced with chicken wire or another method to build the run (please describe) (pbc pipe, metal posts etc) keep in mind I will have a door for me to enter it and it will all be covered on the top
thanks for all your help gals and guys
p.s. currently they roam my back yard but occasionally go exploring the neighbors yard. . Thus I must fence them in, especially with plans of adding more
