My daughter really really wanted us to get chickens, and had done for about five years, so finally bit the bullet and converted an old wooden playhouse into a coop during lockdown. We now have three rehomed ex battery hens, Belle, Hazel and Blondie. They have settled in fine and are all laying regularly (4 days in!)
Any helpful advice on the following?
1. Dryness/cleanliness of the run.
2. When is it safe/ok/sensible to let them out into the (reasonable sized) garden
3. Advice on wing clipping. Everybody round here has dogs and don't want them to free range then escape and get chased. Garden fenced about five feet high.
