Ok. My coop is ready, and my run is 95% ready. All I have left to do is put Hardware Cloth in some small places up around the roof area. Slanted roof sides and eaves etc... I want to move my birds out tomorrow AM. They would be locked in the coop at night, and I will be fencing off those last few areas within the next 2-3 days as time permits. The birds will not be able to get out. Is this OK as long as they are locked in at night? or should I get to those last few places before the bird migration? I really want to get them out there... Thoughts? Thanks, Steve
Personally I put them out asap. I lock our coops up at night but we don't have a lot of predators here just hawks and the racoons mainly.
Quote:It's in the 80s here right now and they have a coop with a metal roof. Yes there is ventilation, but it could still be quite warm... Daytime predators would be fox and hawks. The run is covered and there is no way a fox could get in... Unless they climb!
