Hello! I am brand new at all of this, I do not have any chickens yet. I am in the research phase right now. I'm looking into getting a coop, and have found several cute plans but they don't seem to give the chickens very much space. They have the enclosed area and then a ramp to an area a few feet long covered with mesh. Do the chickens live here full time or do you let them out? It seems a bit small to me? I'm only planning on starting with 2 or 3 chickens.Where I live I can't have them free roaming, there are way too many dangers and no fence around my yard. But I don't think I have the money for a huge run in addition to the coop. I'm kinda stumped on this one! Do I just let them out when I can, and if I do will the roam far? I don't want them going into the wooded area/road, etc. so how do you manage their exercising time when they aren't in the actual box part of their coop? Any advice is appreciated.
