The coop/pen is 4x8 but I'm doing a run of 4x8 off that as well. I'm in a fenced area inside a fenced area but want to make sure they will be safe there before I let them have all the space. I'm getting 4 girls next week (silkies).. We are on 4 acres with one acre fenced for the dogs and about a quarter of that area is fenced for a garden/hot tube area and that's were te chickens will be....(the back side is where the chickens are)

Way too nice of a home for "silkies". At least use a "better" breed of bantams. all silkies need are a place to go broody...

Again, very nice.

LOL thanks!

I love silkes, they are so pretty!! I never thought about chickens until I went to a dog show with friends and stayed with people who had silkies. I could not stop looking at them! That was a year ago and I finally decided I had to have some!! I was looking for something later in the year but found some available now so I'm moving forward faster then I thought I could!!
