Hi all.
About to dive into building a 8'x10' A-frame coop and run. It's going to look like one of those tiny tractors on steroids ; ) Looking to pick the brains of you beautiful chicken'ers. These are the first of many questions to come I'm sure.
Hardware cloth or 1" chicken wire? ... read advantages to both.
Going to be super tough to dig 10" trough to bury wire for predator proofing. I was thinking of covering entire floor with 2x4 welded wire fencing or chicken wire. Would that have any negative effects on "the babes" feet?
Run will be A frame 6'x8' base and 8' tall. Thoughts on whether I should run wire vertically or horizontally? Does it matter? what is best/most effecient way to "lace" two peices together?
Thanks, more to come I'm sure,
Mo
