I am in the researching stage of chicken keeping. I plan to get a smaller sized coop like this for 3-4 chickens for my urban backyard.
I want to allow the chickens to free range in a given area during the day, but also want to protect from predators (just in case). My question is, could I contain the chickens with poultry netting (something like this) during the day in any given area I create? I would also plan to cover the top with the same material so birds would be discouraged from preying upon the chickens. I also like the idea of having a movable run so I can save my grass from being ruined.
My question is - would this work? Does anyone else do this?
