My coop outside and run will be good to go I have that figured out it's the inside before then I need to lock in. So you keep those 6 week olds inside at night in the watermelon container with wire over top?
I didn't use wire over the top. They never expressed an interest in trying to escape so I left it uncovered. I kept them in our garage so there were no predators and if they did try to escape they didn't have anywhere to go.
If I would have kept them in the house I would have used wire on top because I have two cats and two ferrets. I probably would have also kept them in a room where the cats cannot get in.
