Hi all! This is my first post and I am a new to raising backyard chickens. I have four chickens that are still babies. I do have a coop that is big enough for them to sleep in - but not to live in once they are adults. I live in a suburban neighborhood with a small yard. I do have a 8 foot fence and multiple trees in the yard. Ideally I would like to let them out when I go to work and have them sleep in the coop at night (and roam the yard freely during the day). However, I am concerned they will get out and disappear (or be eaten by neighbor dogs). I have found conflicting information on the internet on this issue. Should I build a run or just clip their wings (or something else)? How large should this run be if I do construct it?
Thanks
Marc
