Important information: 2 ducks, 42 chicks, assorted breeds and sizes. Assorted ages now as well, but that is another topic.
Our coop is 12x 12 (I know a bit small but we are in a warm place, not to mention chicken math got the best of my son). My original plans were to make the run 18ish x 37ish. I have 200ft of wire, 100 allotted for the sides and 100 allotted for the top. Someone has told me that it will be too long and narrow to make my feathered friends happy. By having the run that size I wouldn't lose too much of the play yard area for my dd. It would also mean the run will be able to run alongside the fencing for the goats but not cross into their area.
Will this be too long and narrow?
