Been visiting here for over a year and finally decided to register. I don't know that I can put off getting chickens any longer - I am obsessed - and so will probably order a Amish made coop in the next week or two. I live on 5 acres and intend to let them free range during the day, but want to keep them behind a fence at night. We currently have a 6 ft. high, 28x30' chain link fence attached to the garage that occasionally we use for the dogs when we just need them out of the house for part of the day, but it mostly sits empty. It is in very good shape - almost new. I am wondering if this would be a good set up for the chickens. We do get the typical predators through, although with the dogs it is not as bad as it could be. Anyhow, just wondering what we might do to make the fencing a bit more secure against predators. Thanks a bunch - this site is such an amazing resource!
