When our hens/roos were smaller we had a dog kennel/run we let them out in...they loved it. Right now they are way to big for it and we are in the process of fencing in the yard. I know they will love it once we are finished. We have three coops with three runs. They have plenty of room, but I want them to be able to spread there wings. I can not wait to let them free range...I am however only going to let out one coop at a time, We have 20 all together LOL.
