I am new to raising chickens. I have 4 chicks, 2 RIR and 2 Barred Rocks who are now almost 3 weeks old. I have been studying the pictures of diffferent kinds of coops and runs, and want to build a tractor coop/run for these girls so they can forage and I can move them around to different areas of my back yard. I am gradually getting my dogs desensitized to them, but dont't want to leave anything to chance, so here's what I thought might work....If I attach weldwire to the bottom of the run, the dogs won't be able to dig into the run, and the grasas will still poke through so the chickens can forage. Has anyone tried this, or think of a reason why this would not be a good idea? All opinions welcomed
