Hi, I'm brand new here, no chicks yet, trying to figure out what setup would work best for our family.
We are thinking of getting 3-4 chickens this year. I can't let them completely free range because of tons of hawks, but I would like to have a run I can move around the yard.
Would it work to build a stationary coop just outside my back door (with a small run) and then a bigger, moveable run I can move around the yard as needed? Would I be able to get them from one area to another reliably in morning/evening using treats or food placement?
Just brainstorming here, if this is crazy please tell me!
