new run idea

[mommissan]

My dog's been eating chicken poop for 4 months now with no ill effects.

Chain link doesn't keep weasels out. I'm trying to figure out how to solve that problem in my chain link run. As long as your dogs are always on watch your birds should be safe.

That sounds like exactly what I have. I strung fence across the dog area and put my chickens in one side. About haveing them alone with the dogs... I have an sweet dog the size of an bread bag, she bit one of my flighty chcikens once, when we were dog sitting (bread bag +4 poodles) they murdered her

The dogs help with preadtors, pourch lights help also!

good luck.

Most BYC folks recommend 4 sq. ft. per bird in the coop and at least 10 sq. ft. per chicken in the run. I personally feel like the more the space, the happier the chicken.
