Hi guys,
i have 4 buff orps that are about 3 and a half weeks old now, i already have their coop built, suitable for up to 8!! but i dont know about the run. I have all the hardwire cloth and mesh that i need, but i dont whether to build a portable one or static. Where i plan to build a static one it will be enclosed by 2 walls so wont be battered by wind, and will still get sunlight. The area is 90 square feet, which is huge for 4 birds i think. I would rather know they are protected than just sitting in the middle of the garden as we have a lot of dogs round here (rottweilers no less) that could burrow under or just plain run into it.
so basically : Do static runs affect the gals in any negative way?
Thanks for your help guys, much appreciated!!
