I have a small elevated coop and a run that is not closed in at the top.
Stupid questions;
1) if I clip a wing, can I not worry about the 6' high fence that surrounds them? Not many predators out here, very suburban.if they leap a fence there are dogs everywhere.
2) I plan on leaving the coop open during the day. Do I need a roost in the run?
3) I don't plan on putting food/water in the coop at all. Stupid? They'll be let out at dawn and put back in at dusk. I also don't have room.
4) the coop was designed with hardware mesh as the floor with limited "walking around" space. The assumption is they'll just sleep and roost in it while I only have to clean the ground beneath the coop... wrong?
Tia... great site, been a lurker for a while but I pick up my girls on Saturday and am slightly freaking out..
