I have a chicken coop already, my chicks are 6 weeks old, i put them out in the day, bring them in my house at night. I am a first time chicken owner. I have been shoping for someone to build the "run" off the side of my coop. I am looking for any suggestions, ideas, or someone that would like to build this run. From what I have been hearing/reading, Racoons will prey on the chicks, rodents will dig under or try to get to their food or eggs.
I would like to hear ideas of what to be sure I take into consideration while building the run. How deep do I go with the fence line? What gage of wire is safe, and small enough to keep Raccoons from reaching through to get the chickens etc. Thanks for any help/suggestions you may have! I will build the run to the left of the coop. The front door will be open while I'm home so they can free range in my yard. Livermore, CA
