That's how we are set up at our new place too. Bird pens are inside our fenced yard, and we have two dogs that stay outside but they are kinda lazy. I think it helps having them out here but i am not gonna pretend it's safe. Especially when my step son that lives up the road has seen a bobcat on his place.

We're gonna build a better barn fkr the birds soon but right now we are still trying to finish our house.
We kinda sold out and moved before we were really ready... but it was the best thing to do financially while we had the chance so..
Just praying the bad critters stay away long enough to get things better set up.
