Alright, I am totally new to this chicken stuff!! HaHa.. I have been reading a ton a books, and researching alot online. We are in the planning stage of building our coop and run... We found some plans for a small coop that we are going to build, its about a 4 foot square.... I was thinking about just setting it in the middle of a fence..??? like a 12 x12 square fenced area?? We would put them up in the coop at night, but I just don't know if the chickens would try to fly out during the day?? Or should we just clip their wings?? We are pretty set on Rhode Island Red's... but everywhere Ive read says nothing about how likely they are to fly?? Any suggestions would be great!! Thanks!!
