We live in a house on the edge of a small city, and I want to get chickens for eggs. I am wondering, however, what the ideal outdoor environment would be. We have an acre or so wooded lot adjoining one side of our property, as well as some fields behind our property. I'm wondering what would be the ideal place to build a coup, and how much area i should let them have to run around and forage on? The wooded lot is only about 100 feet wide and not connected to any larger forest. Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated!
